Hi All, seeking info from you all as experts as I found a nice Brian Rourke 531 that won't fit me, but I knew needed a good home. Before I do all that I wanted to hear your thoughts. Started riding road bikes in 85, working as a teen in shops, then spent from age 27-45 (now) in shops so I understand the 531 material, vintage bikes (i love them!). I found this here in Austin. Both Bottom Bracket and Fork are Stamped with serial number 500. I believe was purchased by US Serviceman as it has bike registration sticker for Airfield. Any chance of help with more precise dating based on serial? Has Single Water Bottle Mounts and no braze on for downtube shifters. Similar to 81 Merckx I had.
