Wanted: 59-61cm Steel Road Bike

My god son is now old enough to be pushed towards the light and discover steel is real.

Looking for a Reynolds 531 (or similar) frame or complete bike which would be suitable for a first road bike. Something which can be left outside a pub (in a few years time), but also could do some touring with some tinkering.

How tall is your god son?

I’m 186cm and will have a Spa Cycles rim brake Audax frame soon stripped and up for sale.
725 tubing
And comes with mudguard bosses

Can give you frame measurements later if you’re interested?

1970s R531, 58ctc from memory, 5 speed/120mm rear so easily converted to fixed/ss if needed, currently 1x5 set-up, was built for 27" rims, now sporting long drop calipers for 700c wheels, meaning it can accept large-ish tyres and mudguards. Nice paint and lug lining. Shall take more pics soon. £100 plus change for a couple of pints in the ^ mentioned pub. I'll replace QRs though.

@furious_tiles - Thanks for getting back to me so swiftly.
He's 6ft 3 and probably still going.. lovely Spa bike, but I think the romantic in me wants lugs. Cheers for the offer.

@Foreigner65 she's beautiful! DM incoming.
