For Sale: Complete John Pavey (531) with Sugino cranks, Brooks, deep vs etc

Mornin'.

Not the prettiest of bikes for sale here, but some pretty good components - would be an easy project to finish or dismantle for other projects.

It's a John Pavey 531 frame (not that that means anything - from what I can tell about John Pavey, he would buy frames, respray and badge them, then flog 'em on. Your guess is as good as mine as to what the original manufacturer of this puppy was) - either way it has beautiful oval tubing, some nice lugwork, 135mm spacing at rear, plenty of room for mudguards, and I've not filed any of the brazed-on bits off. Fork is a no-name chromed affair. Size is 52cm (C to C).

It has a brown Brooks B17 saddle, bit beaten up but solid, Sugino Messenger cranks, brand new and powdercoated white. Front wheel is a white Velocity Deep V laced radially with black spokes to a small-flange black Planet X hub, rear wheel is a standard Charge Plug back wheel, so it's flipflop, and I can sell it freewheel or fixed. (If you're taking it fixed I'll dig out some foot retention.)

Comes with a front brake only and if you try to give me any shit about that I will piss on your sister's face. Seriously.

Pics follow. Looking for around £225 but would consider part x for cranks/drops/bags/wheelsets/what have you. Collection from Stoke Newington preferred. No posting I'm afraid.

Kickass.

Frame size?

Doh! It's 52cm, measured C to C. Will update ad to reflect.

I think thats a lovely first fixed 'try out' for someone.

how tall are you? i'm 5"11 would it fit me?

I'm 5"11 also, it fits me fine. When I bought my new bike I got another 52cm.

If you're near Stoke Newington you're welcome to come try it out.

I'll take it!!!

email at info@curseofthemultiples.com with your deets and i'll figure out when i can come and get it...either tonight or tomorrow.

Safe safe. In that case, sold to the man with the cool name. BAM.

Not to piss on anyone's parade but I'm 5'11' and would find a 52 way too small (57 for me)

It's measured CtC not CtT.

Measured CtT it's about 54cm.

as long as your not pissing on my sister's face that's ok

i think this is quite tidy, and agree it would be a great first timer

a 52 is a bit small for someone who is 5' 11.

i'm 5' 7 and ride a 53/54 at the very least.

looks like it was a dawes to me - it's got those squashed seat stays.
