Wanted: Reynolds 531 etc quality racing frameset

Hello, I am looking for a pre-1987 Reynolds 531 or equivalent racing frame and forks. Size 22 or 22 1/2 inch (56 or 57cm) for 700c wheels, with 126-130mm rear dropout spacing , and preferably, British threading.Ideally would like with cable runners and gear hanger intact as is to build up as a mount for this year's L'eroica. Paint finish is immaterial, as will get re done, but must be rot and dent-free. This is to replace a frame which was totalled in a car v bike smash on Sunday! Will need to post/courier to Birmingham.Can anyone help??? All the best, Paul.

Fiddlypaul.....you can't go wrong with a Stan Pike frame.....i'd look into this one and saxby's knows his stuff and £175 for a frame just resprayed is a good deal...but you must let the paint harden...so let it sit in a warm room for at least one month...otherwise paint might chip off easily.

The Mistral; frame is a beauty, but unfortunately, my lovely Shimano Golden Arrow (1983/4) group set would be somewhat out of place on it.

Mmmm not sure about that

I'd be very interested in seeing how the Stan Pike frame turns out if it's still going, i had one possibly attributed to him from his early days before a lovely car had its way with mine.
Sorry if this seems rude but are you sure it's Stan Pike? Just as i was never quite sure with my last one i want to be sure this time round!

I have a 54cm john atkins 531 frame. (made in coventry).
