For Sale: Vintage 55cm Track Frame 531db

Vintage Track Frame ( NO forks )

seat tube 55cm c-top
top tube 55 cm c-c
head tube 14cm
120 mm rear width
English threaded B/Bkt
531 db tubing
26.6 mm seat post
No brake drillings

Proper track frame , built in France ( possible Belgium) early 80's I would guess . Reynolds 531db with French '531' decal and metric ,slightly smaller diameter tubing ( hence odd size seat post size ). Really nice long point cut out lugs , chunky rear seat stays and integral A/key seat bolt. Obviously a quality hand made frame, the lugs have been thinned, and some nice detailed touches . Paint was really shabby when I got it , so most of it has been removed , mainly to check for any nasties, none found apart from a very small dent under the down tube. The head tube and B/Bkt have been faced , the B/bkt threads have been chased and the seat tube has been reamed.
Great project for someone , saddly too small for me (I would need 140mm stem to make the reach right which is a bit mad ) either strip the rest of the paint off and go raw , or paint it your dream colour. My old man picked up the frame for me from Devon of all places, unfortunatly I don't no it's history, there were no makers decals and theres no frame number.

good offer, glws

Could be just what I'm after. Pm'd.

If anyone is wondering why this frame is 531 DB and not take a 27.2mm seatpost. it is because it was made in France and many French frame builders inverted the seat tube.....and the 'other end' was 26.6mm.....quite common on Peugeot 531 and even 753 frames.

2nd dibs...if chrisbmx116 drops out

3rd dibs if the others fall through! Thanks!

Whats stamped on the top of the bb shell left side?

Looks a bit like this

^ Looks like R G F same design

Fuck, a straight swap for my Harry, unlikely 4th dibs.

D

Is the frame still available?…would you ship outside UK? tnx

Think its long gone... turned out I was second in line somehow and never heard back so assume it went to the first in line...

Threads not closed, waiting for first person to PM me , primative robot,

Hope that's clear to everyone

I sorted something else in the meantime so over to the next person...
I do however have a spare pair of really nice flat crown track forks that would suit this if anyones interested...

3rd? dibs on this

4th (hopeful) dibs

Would look good raw.

Now sold , cheers

Has anyone got anything similar to this? I'm looking for a 531 frame not bothere about cosmetic condition.

Still?!

Yep, I do actually... if you are genuinely interested I can dig them out from storage. Started a thread somewhere but they were also on my Colnago Pista for a bit.

This i believe was a LEJEUNE. Typical seat stay tops, lug pattern and red colour.

I bought this from @primitive_robot - beautiful ride. It's gone now - but sold on here.

I regret this everyday

Anyone looking a single speed bike got one size 56 let me.know.if your interested
