Very reluctant sale, had intended on keeping this one after admiring it for years but needs must. It's a 531st tourer, lovely forks with a beautiful curve, clearance for 32mm + guards (35mm + guards is possible), chromed details, beefy stays for carrying load. Since owning the bike I’ve t-cut the frame and built it up with the elusive Campag Record Titanium triple group. The only thing letting the side down is the well used mudguards.
This is the frame's history according to Mr Orrell himself, in 2014: “The frame was built in 1979 for a Graham Trunks, who looked after it well as you say, Graham has poor health now so he handed his bikes over to his son to dispose of. The frame was re-enamelled perhaps about 5 or 6 years ago but I don't think it has been used much since.”
