but would pay £200 for a good brand new 531 track/street frame & fork.
Sure its less than a bob or a mercian, but 531 is antique crap tubing in comparison to real cyclists* - and importantly you said SELL QUICKLY
at £200 I think they would sell quickly, and he would get a fair profit. I think the selling quickly bit is most important to the builder, plus the fact he gets to do them as a batch - all with standard measurements. Nice & quick a solid few months of work.
