Bought a few years ago to do a complete refurb but not got round to it.
I live 5 minutes walk from Bow Road tube station in zone 2.
I originally paid £100 and open to offers.

Raleigh Team Pro Reynolds 531 Frame with
Shimano 600ex Headset Renovated as Geoffrey Butler
Up for auction is this superb hand built Raleigh Team Professional Reynolds 531 Road Race Frame from the early 1980s. It has been renovated
as a Geoffrey Butler but there is no question that this was originally a Raleigh 531 double butted frame. The very distinctive and elegant lugs,
bottom bracket, brazed-on bottom bracket cable guides and forged Campagnolo ends all tell the same story as does the serial no. WG9000731.
The frame is in excellent condition with only a few cosmetic marks to the paintwork. There are no dents or dings of any sort and the frame is true
and straight. As it stands, the frame is finished in an attractive deep metallic red with the white band on the seat tube. Personally, I think it would be
great to put it back to its1 original Team Tl Raleigh colours as the basis for a brilliant retro build with either a top flight Campag or Shimano groupset
and Mavic wheels!
