Would anyone be interested in taking this off my hands? It's 56 TT x 55 ST c-c. Last of the 531ST production bikes, Club Tour. Lugged, oversize DT. Lee Cooper possibly. Unmarkable powdercoat. Can get standover height for the Thorn type of buyer. Currently rocking Randonneur drop bars, 8sp bar-ends, RX100 levers in nice nick. Newish drivetrain, 8sp SRAM cassette (and a new spare to chuck in), steel Shimano rings for everlasting bike vibes. Clearances pretty tight, for 32 with guards. Direct fit bosses under the bridge/crown, which is how Thorn be rolling.
I intend to keep the lights, racks, pedals, seat post (have the cheap black one it came with going back in) and probably want to keep that saddle but could let it go if it's a dealbreaker.
Nice enough Wheelset... Shimano DH 3N72 front hub, a nice pre-disc dyno 3W hub, rear a very new Deore, 36h on Mavic T261 built with Alpine III. Really ace Shimano Cantis BR-CX50, with Kool stops natch.
It's really great with panniers all over it. I mean, really sturdy, no shimmy.
Probably looking for very little money, considering a bit of rim wear, cheap cranks and the BB, sealed and running fine, that I couldn't remove when attempting to experiment with another crank a while back.
Will take current pics and post a thread, just a little heads up for the Thorn buffs in case it floats anyones boat. Has been a really great hack, could be for you too with little effort.
