SOLD.
£85 531db F/F + Newish Headset + Newish Sealed shimano BB + Original Seatpost + Original Stem
Rode this lovely frame as a commuter for a while but have other projects now so selling on.
As you can see from the pics, paint wasn't perfect and I fancied seeing what a bare metal frame looked like, so I chemically stripped the paint and put on a few coats of lacquer.
Looked great for a year but the lacquer does now need sanding down and re-doing (or a paint job) to protect the metal.
The frame is perfectly true and sound throughout, has been very well looked after, kept indoors and without any dings or notable marks.
Don't be put off by the light surface rust in the pictures, literally just need five minutes of sanding before you paint or lacquer. I have a half can of spray lacquer I'd be happy to pass on with the frame but will leave it up to you to decide if that's the way you want to go. This 531 frame does really deserve a pro job if you've got the cash though.
NOTE I did file down the down tube stops for aesthetics but I can supply a spotless chrome clamp on, down tube stop for another few quid. I'm guessing most people would be running this fixie or single speed though.
Including the sealed Shimano (think it was Un55) BB and headset I originally bought and rode for about 500 miles when I built it up. Both in fine condition. Also including the original seatpost and stem. Everything is freely moving. The stem was sprayed silver but really needs a respray depending on whether you see this as a posh beater or a proper project bike.
59.5cm ctc. Other measurements are included on the attached image from the original catalogue listing.
PM if interested, frame located at Tower Bridge, thanks for looking!
PS I can remove headset/BB if required.
