SOLD
Bought this a while ago and it has served me well as a kind of beater-plus; now needs a new home. It's a full-531 frameset ideally ready for 27-inch wheels, but will run 700s with long drop brakes or, as I preferred it, with mudguards for wet winter months. I have some good long drop calipers I can chuck in for a beer.
It was restored a while ago with an off-white powdercoat and repro decals and although there are chips and marks aplenty it's in decent enough fettle to carry on as is. Of course what it really wants is a full resto with period bits, or maybe an hour or two with a touch up pen.
Dropouts are Campagnolo and it has a Tange headset fitted up (although it's a bit sticky so expect to have it apart to service or maybe replace). Threads are English and good, bottom bracket is 68mm.
Centre-to-centre measurement for seat tube is 60cm, top tube is 57. Will check seatpost diameter this evening and will also get some pictures up. Will make a nice build for someone on here I hope - would be a shame to send to eBay.
Looking for £65. Collection Richmond or Teddington please. Dibs and PM to secure. Thanks all.
