Right on your doorstep it was too... (Maidenhead)...

I think it was the dodgy photos and local pick-up only

531 aren't they? Think those forks would have been fully chromed as well. I had a 56cm NOS '79 Competition (531 main triangle only) frame that I never built up. Paid a bit more than £18 for it...

Indeed, full 531, prugnat lugs, Simplex ends.
PX was plain gauge, PY was butted I think
Photos are quite flattering, its a slightly ropey respray. Originally they only did white and metallic yellow but since this one is red and ratty I thought I'd better give it a home.

Nice one.

Yeah, mine was the pearlescent pale yellow, nice colour. I think there were other colours before and after, the yellow was only done for one season IIRC but I can't remember what the other colours were. I researched it a bit but this was ten years ago (!) now.

Cheery soul aren’t you Jorj

Cheery soul aren’t you

I'm noted for my jokes. My three jokes.

Wow, that is really lovely.

I got as far as fitting a headset before I sold it on. I’d started collecting some Shimano 600 Arabesque bits, and the funny sized seatpost (it needed 26.4 or something IIRC) but I think I decided it was too small, or I didn’t want a vintage bike, or something.

I've never been so excited about a build.

Needed to finish the build:

• Band on derailleur adaptor
  
• Gear cable set

Crazy indeed. And that French map on the wall 😍

That's lovely

Very classy

What a catch!

Nice that! What wheels?

Did someone convert their hope thru axle hubs to qr? Looking to make wheels fit two frames. Can’t work out if there’s a universal adapter or if they’re hub specific..

Cheers, I've always liked them so it's nice to get my hands on one...

Ah yes I remember the arabesque bits. I'll probably go French on this (simplex, t.a. etc) but nothing too fancy... Just a poncy commuter

Yeh, I've got some hope pro 2's with thru Axle I've converted to qr. Nuke proof do one, about 12£ or so

.

Great! Thanks :-)

And this works both front and rear?

I've only got it for the front, but I think they're front/rear universal you just need the right size
Edit* so it's the same thing, just a different size

It’s back. At last. (Only due to my shitty schedule tho)

Is that your OG 853 Talbot?
