For Sale: 531 RIH Super Profi frameset

Posted on
  • up for sale is this rih frameset made with reynolds 531 tubing. it has some scars but it's in great mechanical condition and rides like a dream. it's my first 531 frameset and now i know why so many people love the tubeset.

    it has long campag dropouts and british threaded bb. has some paint chips and surface rust but nothing to be afraid of (i rode it for 6 months without an issue but it has to go to fund a fixed-tt project)

    the two most important things that have to be mentioned:

    1) the hole in the brake bridge is rusted and the guiding tube has broken (it is inside the brake bridge as it can be seen in the photos) - i had no problem installing a recessed hex-nut brake.

    2) the chainstays have some weird crimps. i think one of the previous owners put it in a vice and overtightened it. does not affect ride quality though

    tange falcon headset is included (lower cup has been painted black) but it is indexed and needs service (not sure if salvageable or needs replacement..) if you don't want it, i can take it out for you.

    measurements are H - c-t 60; L - c-c 58. it handles pretty aggressively for an old frame. it takes a 26.4 seatpost if i'm not mistaken (can measure later as i don't have a caliper right now) campag shifters NOT included

    SENT TO THE BAY.
