For Sale: Ellis Briggs 531 Lo-Pro frame and forks

The replace-a-bent-bike fund needs filling up so I'm selling this laaarvly Ellis Briggs:

It's 531 that's obviously been resprayed and re-decalled at some point The colour is really rich in the flesh. Seat Tube is 59 c-t-c and the head tube is teeny, so the top tube length is probably moot, but it is 700c front and rear so shouldn't be that extreme when built up (which I haven't) - would suit the lankier of you ladies and gentleman.

The good bits:

• Straight and true with no dings
  
• Purdy - decals and lug lining are all in lovely shape
  
• Campagnolo drops (126mm)
  
• Beautifully made with some lugs and some brazing
  
  

Bad bits:

• The previous owner had the shifter braze on removed from the down-tube - only a slight cosmetic issue though and you could always use a band on if not converting it...
  
• ...They also tried to cover small paint chips with a slightly darker paint at points (see the brake drilling above)
  
  

And detailed bits:

• The BB shell is RGF - but I don't think it is a french BB thread (though I haven't tried building it up)
  
• Also I've not put a seat post in though will try and update this post later with the size...
  
  

Anyway, I'm hoping to get £150 and I'd cheerfully deliver it to most places in town. PM me up if you're interested. Cheers.

Sweet, pity it's ma-hu-sive like!

Bump-a-lump for the evening crew - anyone interested?

I like it, but for a conversion will be a very low BB.

Sorry.

No worries - it'll be ebay bound after the weekend. I love it, but not with stumpy legs!

Out of interest, I stuck it on some wheels earlier and the BB is lower than the one on my track frame, but only by about 8mm - with 24 odd centimetres of clearance. Coz its 700c front and back its not too daft when its built.

SD how much did you get for it on the bay? if you dont mind me asking.
