For Sale: LeJeune 531c Steel Track Frame and Fork - 64cm CTT

So this has been a decision thats taken a long long time to make.

A little back story. This frame was custom built for my back in around 1989 by Francois Du Toit (http://www.dutoitcycles.co.za/). He was trained by master frame builder at Lejeune in France.

I was racing as an under 17 school boy then. I used the frame for about 18mths, winning many events including a few provincial titles. I then changed to a Columbus SL Viner as I wanted something a bit smaller. I sold the frame to a good friend who hardly used it and it went into his loft at some point. A few years ago my brother found out he still had it and I got it back from him. So it has some sentimental value.

So I built it up as a "fixie" but I never got into riding it. It was too big for me back in 1989 and still to big for me now. Even at 6'3" I prefer riding a 58cm frame. :-)

It's sat in my dinning room for over a year now. So its time to let it go.

This is what is on offer:
531c frame and fork (un-drilled)
Shimano headset and BB (loose bearing square taper)
Seat tube: 64cm CTT
Top tube: 59cm CTC
Head tube: 23cm

Paint has got scrapes but not dents. The fork is not the original fork I got with the frame. That was a very close clearance aero fork that could only use 18 or 20mm tubs with and so the fork got swapped out for more standard track that 21mm tubs would clear the fork crown.

Frame is no longer available. I made a trade with a fellow forum member.

Fork and headset now available
I also have a "like new" 1 inch Deda Black Force carbon road fork (very rare to find with an un-cut steerer today) and M-Part Headset that I used on it when I built it up recently. Used for 30 miles, if that.

Price: £120 (won't sell it until the frame has sold as the buyer might want it)

A few pics added.

I'm away from home for a few days. I'll upload pics of the fork when I get back.

Is this still available?

Frame has gone to a good home.

1" Carbon fork and headset is available.
