I have a 531 frame and fork - 50cm(ctc), 52(ctt), 700c, 126mm rear end with horizontal drop-outs - that i want to offload. It's been my winter hack for a few years and ideal for a sweaty roller bike to learn on.
Not sure of the make (it had a respray sometime before I got hold of it but I'm guessing probably Raleigh judging by the cinelli bb shell, sloping fork crown and filed lugs I'd say it is.
It is absolutely straight as a die, with no dents or serious rust and rides lovely. Other than some light crazing under the paint in places and some surface rust on the tt, it's just a bit dirty and tatty. It would be an Ideal candidate for a cheap powder coat if someone wanted to make a presentable bike out of it at a later date.
It has a Tange Nova headset - surfaces in good nick, but needs new bearings.
I was looking for £50 if you can pick up? I'm just along the south coast from you. Let me know if any good and I'll send some pics.
Cheers
Andy
