Paul Donohue 531 frameset 49x57 freecycle money not involved!

Free cycle which means it’s totally free if you pick it up!
(No money involved).

Nice 531 Paul Donohue frameset.

Measures 49 ctt seat
x57 ctc toptube
I’m 5’9 and it seems to fit well without the seatpost sticking out loads.

Pretty sure the forks are Reynolds as well, they are lightweight steel.

It takes 700c wheels.

Is horizontal dropouts set at 130mm would make someone an awesome bike either as geared or single speed.
Quill fitting forks. Recessed brake drilled. British BB. Gear adjusters mounted on headtube so doesn’t have brazed downtube mounted. 27.2 seatpost fits.

Slight knock on underside of downtube pictured. Don’t look horrific.

Brand new Tange headset.

Collection only please in London NW6 area, not wanting to post this.

49x57? that's crazy long

Yes I’m baffled how that’s the measurement as well. I’ll definitely double check that later! Pretty sure I’d measured it correctly though.

Also if you look at the top tube in the photo it does look way long. So unsure if my measurements are not accurate, it’s probably “crazy” long?

Top tube definitely measures 57cm!

Isn’t this an old time trial frame?
Designed to run a huge amount of seat post and pursuit bars?

Dibs on coming

This is being picked in a few hours, someone got in there via pm last night. But you’ve got 2nd dibs mate if it’s still kicking around.

Optimistic 3rd dibs
