For Sale: Beautiful Reynolds 531 Track Bike, Campagnolo Record

I've got to sell this to fund a cycling trip (and because I am generally totally skint and can't justify it).

First off the frame is not a Wilson. My surname is Wilson and Wilson Cycles in Sheffield very kindly gave me some of their decals for it. It is however a lovely 531 track frame with Nervex lugs which i am told was built for the Leicester track. It measures 55cm ctc seat tube and 56cm ctc top tube. I had it resprayed and built it up only a few months ago and it has seen very little use since. The chrome on the rear triangle is original so slightly tatty. There is only one significant mark in the paintwork. One of the chainring bolts came a bit loose and rubbed on the chain stay. It's quite tight down there. But no big deal.

The Forks are F. Moser. I deliberately bought some which were chromed and then painted and stripped the paint such that the chrome underneath is in perfect condition.

Other bits:

Campagnolo Record Headset. Brand new when bike was built.
Campagnolo Record Pista Hubs 36h, Mavic Open Pro Rims - Hubs were polished up nice. Rims and spokes brand new when built. Velox rim tape. Veloflex Master Tyres.
Campagnolo Record Strada Cranks - The lips for a second chainring were removed by a previous owner. He/she didn't do the best job cosmetically but they are in perfect working order.
Miche Bottom Bracket.
Velosolo 48t chainring.
Condor 17t Steel cog.
Cinelli 1a stem, Campione Del Mundo Bars, Brooks Tape and end Plugs.
Condor brake lever and calliper.
Nitto NJSP72 (Jaguar) seat post 27.2mm
San Marco Concor Saddle - original leather not suede reissue.

I'd like £500 for it. I'm in Glasgow so it'll need posting.

The weather is horrible today so here are a couple of pictures of it just after it was built. I'll get some pictures of it in it's current state hopefully tomorrow. But it's not far off this...

Saw this on the Glasgow Forum, lovely bike. Have a bump.

Thanks FT. If this does sell soon - I think I'll be coming to London before heading off on my cycling trip so could bring it with me. Need to be in bordeuax on the 9th of august so will be in London around the 7th probably.

Such a lovely bike seen this a few times before on the forum. Hope it goes to a good home!

Bump.

Hey,

If splitting how much would you like for the frame?

Thanks

Ed

Frame forks and headset for £200? That's roughly how much it cost me without the paint job. Someone else has expressed interest in the wheel set. I will split but only if I get committal on both the frame and the wheels. Please PM me if you want it Ed.
