To the best of my knowledge, this frame was made by Neil Orrell in the 80's from 531c tubing. The previous owner said he had it resprayed by Steve Goff a few years ago. I've heard that a phone call to Neil Orrell (who is still making frames) with the serial number could reveal its history, although I haven't contacted him yet myself.
Quite light, and surprisingly stiff for a steel frame of this size, it's been one of my favourites to ride.
It's been used mostly on the track, never crashed. I've used it on the road to and from Herne Hill with a clamp on brake, although due to the tight clearances the front wheel can brush the frame if you slam the brake on. The paint is acceptable, just a few scrapes which I've photographed. I'd like £200, although open to offers.
Top tube: 57cm c-c.
Seat tube: 57cm c-c.
Seatpost: 27.0
531c tubing. Not drilled for brakes.
Includes Stronglight headset and Shimano bottom bracket.
Dibs to be followed by a PM please.
