I'm looking to build a retro modern bike for this summer to ride A Spring classic on. My plan is a vintage frame with modern light bits.
Specifically I'm looking for a 531c/ 531 sl/ 531 pro or similar British hand built frame in size 55cm square or as close to.
Bob Jackson, Brian Rourke, Roberts, Condor or something or that ilk.
I am after a race frame not a touring frame, something built for 700cc wheels so I can use short drop calipers. I'd rather avoid 653 + 753 as I don't like the idea they may have been re spaced at some point.
If I can't find what I'm after I'll look to get one made. I like the idea of tackling a continental challenge on some retro British steel.
What you got guys?
