This is a really lovely lightweight Reynolds 531 frame and fork from Raleigh that has been absolutely wrecked by the worst paint job I’ve ever seen. The cut out lugs are lovely and the seat stays are really nice too.
Bought in the hope of finding the time to restore back to former glory but never happened. Selling in the hope someone else will.
The guy who sold it thought it was a Raleigh Record Ace Vintage from the Carlton workshop in Worksop (1980-ish), but I think it might be from Raleigh’s “Lightweight Unit” in Nottingham. For anyone with better knowledge than me, the serial number is WL2001399.
Headset spins freely. There’s some cosmetic rust (particularly on head tube – pictured) that will be fine under a new coat of paint.
