Spent a very happy summer or two commuting on this, but it's sat in my spare room for too long. It deserves to be ridden. Lovely condition 531 frame, and a beautiful paintjob with only a few paint rubs here and there.
Biggest issue: the frame/fork was sold as being in perfect condition, and it certainly looked it when i picked it up, but once I got it built up I realised the handling was somewhat 'funky'. I suspect the forks have been bent in a head-on shunt. I never got around to sourcing some replacements, but they were fine for the couple of years I spent commuting on it.
Comes with a 105 headset that's still doing it's thing, bearing were replaced not too long before I got a new frame, and there's a 105 front derailleur on there - that's got a crack all the way through the metal shifting bit (technical term), but again, it worked so I just left it as is.
£50 - and collection only for now, unless someone's desperate for me to send it. I'm living up in the midlands now, but I'm down every week or so. That means I can be around for collection in SE18, or take it to my office in Tottenham Court Road.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
