For Sale: Gibson 531 Track Frame

NJS is common muck and we all know if god wanted us to ride glitter bikes he'd have created track racing with midgets aboard My Little Ponys.

This is some uber rare Australian shit that will make you a full 65% sexier and is Certified Scouser-Proof(tm).

Buy it or wander forever through the bleak existence that is 'the one that got away'.

In all seriousness, this is a Reynolds 531 steel frame built in the 70s by an unknown Aussie builder. It was repainted as a Gibson so I'd take a stab that it was built by someone in or near Bendigo, Victoria.

It's 40 years old so it's not perfect but it's in pretty good nick and it's certainly unique.

Size: 56cm/55cm TT/ST

includes Dura Ace headset, bottom bracket and these frickin' sexy twin-plate forks..

£330ono

that's bloody nice Hippy, fair play.

. . . hewn from the melted down manacles of convicts.

aint nothin more hipster than that.

looks like a les paul

The lugs and forks remind me of my Ol'man's Ricardo

Is your old man Victorian? Perhaps he can ID it?

Price drop

thats pretty nice, but why no pictures of the whole bike?

campy dropouts, if not You can shit my hat

what would be a price without bb and headset? (i quite like my current setup so bb and headset surplus to requirements)

1st dibs on the f&f and seatpost binder if You split? (you would make more that way... i know it is not you primary aim:{) i'm sure You have tools to remove bb and headset if not i do:{)
thanks hippy,

what is seatpost diameter and is the seat tube lenght ctc or ctt?

cheers

thats pretty nice, but why no pictures of the whole bike?

Because it's a frameset and the last time I put something up that said "frame" 27 times in the listing and even mentioned exactly what was for sale, but showed a picture of a complete bike, some dickcheese on ebay assumed it was the whole bike.

I think the post is 26.8 but I'd need to look at it to check.

I'd consider splitting because someone wants the post anyway. Not sure if I have a BB tool for that though but could probably get one.

Make me an offer. Make it big. Make it quick. Make an old man smile before he leaves this earth. Or something.

you selling the whole frame?

What colour?

I may be interested in the headset, if it's surplus to buyers requirements.

Lovely frame by the way.

15 posts and nobody asked about barspinz yet?

slackers

Nor has anyone made a comedy £5 offer. This forum sucks.. I'm going to bikeradar and ebay..

are you gonna get 3 and a half on ebay...?
bloody hell

I don't expect that.. I just set it high so that I can drop the price by 1p every hour and keep the thread high :)

Does "ono" not have the same meaning in the UK as it does in Australia?

ono it doesnt

ONO = Or Nearest Offer

Pretty as hell. Why is it so small? Is it some genetic thing to do with aussies?

Is your old man Victorian? Perhaps he can ID it?

Nope, he's Edwardian.

Actually he's a Geordie has lived in Perth since '69.

Distance Fail.

It's not small, you freak, it's normal.

54 and 56cm frames are the most common.

Freak.

Did I mention you're a freak yet? No? Freak.
