For Sale: 61cm 1990’s Orbit 531 Competition frame

SOLD - thanks!

£145 A really lovely and light 531c frame & fork for sale, fantastic condition, rides beautifully, would like to keep but got too many projects to justify it.

The paint is in really good condition, it makes me feel happy inside whenever I look at it. It’s got a really glossy “like new” sheen and only and handful of chips and marks as you can see in the pictures. You only really notice these on inspection.

A large frame for the taller rider, 61cm ctc seat tube with a 59cm ctc top tube.

Including original seatpost, a newly fitted headset, new bottle holder screws, a barely used shimano sealed bottom bracket and I’ll chuck in a matching fluorescent bottle holder if you want it.

PM if interested, can collect from Tower Bridge.

Thanks for looking!

how long is the headtube? and the wheelbase?

thx

Hi Apollo, head tube looks to be 16cm ctc, (20.5cm total, stack height is about 3cm). Wheel base is 103cm ctc from a rough check.

Builds up fairly compact, narrow clearances, sloped fork crown - definitely built for speed.

It is a very agile, nippy but stable ride. Second most enjoyable frame I've ever ridden (compared to my Sunday best :)

PM sent

Had a fair offer im chewing over but frame still available if anyone else is interested.

Thanks
