Hi,
Sold
I have a Raleigh Ritmo 531 frame. 58cm seat tube ctc, 57cm top tube ctc. I bought this for a road bike build, which I have completed, but I am thinking I need something a little bigger. At the moment it is a built bike, the photos are from when I originally bought the frame, a few months ago. Easy come easy go.
So, the paintwork is mainly there, but nicks and scratches all over. A little bit of surface rust where it's been chain slapped on the chain stay (of course), but that's all - and has been wet and dried, and sealed with primer for now.
It's a decent frame and rides pretty well, but I have to go a bit bigger to bring the handlebars up a little bit for me.
Included is the frame, forks, headset and a stepped ferrule for the rear mech. The headset is fine, but does not look very pretty. It takes a 27.2mm seat post, 1" threaded headset, so 22.2mm stem, and a 68mm British BB. It needs 28.6mm band on front mech, and the cable guides are in place under the bottom bracket shell. It was built for 700c wheels, reasonably tight clearances, front 100mm, rear 130mm OLN. It has allen key brake mountings, two sets of cage mounts and the threads on the rear mech hanger are in place.
The chain adjusters you can see in the photos are no longer there, one snapped off and has been left in. It's not a problem at all, I never use the things - I was removing them when it snapped.
Here it is:

And here it is built up:
So, a decent 531 frame, which cost me £60, so how about £50?
I don't want to post, so it is collection only. I live in Islington and work in Fetter Lane so central London is where I am at. Let me know if you are very close, I might be persuaded to deliver.
