531SL was oval and a lugless build...

You mean Reynolds 531 Speedstream?
Different from 531 SL.
BTW, Speedstream has been built with lugs as well.

21.5" Holdsworth Frame

I was going by this, which (confusingly) refers to it as "531 SL Speedstream".

But the decal doesn't state "SL", so I wonder if the description was copied incorrectly?

any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Claud-Butler-Velox-Frame-Fixie-Racing-Single-Speed-Fixed-Bike-RARE-/150888327263?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item2321a5285f#ht_500wt_1413

Meh. I'd say £60 might be about right. It's an old 531 racer frame. Nothing special.

you think? I really does it for me, looks a bit better with the wheels de-stickered though

LOOoL

looks like a parsnip

Just a heads up mate- in future don't eat parsnips if they're this colour.

Looks like an elephant's todger*

As you can read on the same page, 531 Professional was called 531 SL before.

I've tried to buy quite a few things from them- placed the order, watched the money taken from my card, then waited, waited a bit more, emailed them and "ah, sorry, we didn't actually have that in stock, I'll refund your card shall I?"

Never again.

Interesting! Went down Brixton Cycles today and got some for £165 anyway, so not complaining. And with awesome service, to boot.

Seems legit http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160873281928&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123#ht_500wt_1156

Also, been offered a 753 frame, recently refurbished as a second chance for £105 including postage. I don't have the money but can scrape it together.
This is a great deal, isn't it?

EDIT: (Please can someone talk me out of it so my wife doesn't kill me)
