Wanted: Large 531 frame/bike, good condition

I'm looking for something around 24 inch centre to top. No rust/large scratches basically. Preferably 531. For a project I've been wanting to start for ages. I want to build a nice bike that's near enough a perfect fit for me.

I'm riding an old 24 inch raleigh beater around in the meantime. It is a perfect fit for me but the dropouts are rubbish for what I have in mind, and the frame is made of 18-23 controlled carbon gaspipe.

What have you got to offer? Please also state top tube length.

Cheers
Michael

I've got a 24 Mercian Olympic frame with them in Derby atm. How much are you looking to spend? Unknown TT until I check...

My budget is probably around £100 ish for the frame, but if you've got something really nice I'll try to scrape a bit more together!

Depends what you think is nice. It' a 1982 Olympic (I have the original receipt, no shit) in Ruby Flam, made from 531... here's an identical example.

but it'll be a fair whack more than that so no worries.

^ lovely

That's beautiful. Similar condition? PM me your price and I'll consider it.

I'm still looking!

Found one!
