For Sale: anti-theft 531 frame

Posted on
  • I have a rather unexciting looking frame for sale but before I try, this has been on ebay, but I've been messed around, as per usual, by buyers so I wondered if anyone here might like it.

    Its a carlton pro-am 531 piece of steel. Really nice ride, no dings or dents on the thing and its perfectly straight. On a whim I had it powder coated black, which is a shame as the paint was nice before. I then badly lacquered it, and then tried to remove the lacquer. End result, its a great frame, which doesn't look as though it is.

    Its worth noting that I had the threads on the fork silver soldered a year or so ago, they've held up well but its been sat for a while and they look suspect. I screwed on the nut of a headset and it goes on, but it rattles around so it may well be the case the threads are gone, but I can't say for sure (have a look at photo three).

    The ID number starts with WB1 for those who care, meaning it was built just a couple of months before raleigh closed the factory.

    I think the seat tube is 57cm but I will need to check it this evening.

    Offers?

    Just kidding, £60 posted, or £50 collected from Birmingham, if I'm way off the mark, please say. I'm happy to haggle.
