For Sale: Small Reynolds 531 Falcon(?) 50cm Fancy Lugs

SOLD

This frame is a bit of a mystery. When I purchased it a while back I was told it was a rare Falcon San Remo, not sure if that is true or any way of checking, but it's a really nice frame whatever it is! I've been riding it as my main commuting bike for the past year & it rides really well, has never given me any problems at all.

Frame & stays made from Reynolds 531 butted tubing (seat tube 50cm c-c; top tube 55cm c-c), it's nice & lightweight and responsive. Some nice detailing on the curly lugs too. Campagnolo dropouts. Price includes frame, forks, headset, cranks, pedals & bottom bracket.

The frame is in good structural condition, no dents or cracks. Cosmetically it has the usual chips, scratches & small rust patches expected with a used of its age (see photo's). Looks like it's been repainted at some point in the past over the top of the old paint job - I decided to leave it as is to use as a commute bike, or it would look great stripped & resprayed.

The Campagnolo headset was serviced recently at Kinoko Cycles - was completely smooth until I took the bars & wheels off today and noticed it felt slightly gritty so will just need a quick clean and re-grease.

The forks are Tange, pedals are Shimano SPD 540. The cranks are 170mm mis-matching - driveside is SR Royal other side is similar unbranded. Bottom bracket is smooth.

Rear spacing is 126mm, front spacing 105mm. Takes a 27mm seatpost which I can throw in if needed.

Looking for £100 including postage within UK, or £85 collection in London.

This deserve a bump; it's lovely and a super dooper bargain.

Thanks mate, it's a nice quality little frame - would be interested if anyone can help identify it. Only selling as I need the space & cash as I've just purchased another bike!
