I'm hoping someone on here can help! I've recently built up a 531 frame with some modern components, albeit with down tube shifters. Trouble is, when I ride on even the slightest gradient or when I push off at the lights the gears shift down the block leaving me grinding along in a big gear! I've noticed even a slight tug on the cable at the downtube will shift the lever into the next sprocket, the derailleur is screwed in tight, I've tried it with two different levers with the same result. The hanger looks straight and the chain looks like it's in a straight line from sprocket through the jockey wheels, and I've experimented with different chain lengths with the same result, anyone got any other ideas?

Quite happy to use a courier of the buyers choice if it saves cash, provided the courier is willing to uplift and the box isn't too big for their terms & conditions.

Cheapest quote from Parcerforce was just shy of £20, delivery to a London postcode was £24 and so much pence, but thanks for your input.

I have a Claude Butler Majestic frame size 25" for sale, Reynolds 531 frame & forks. There is some small patches of surface rust but nothing serious at all, the frame hasn't really had much use and has spent most of it's time stored in a shed. Bottom bracket, which is running smoothly, and headset included, although the chrome on the headset is quite rusted. I can include the original Wienmann centre pull brakes for an extra £10 if desired. £45 for the frame and forks if collected from Aberdeen, or I can send via Parcelforce 48 for an extra £25

I've picked up an old SR Silstar crank with some very nice looking SR chainrings, however I noticed when I spun the cranks on the donor bike that their is a wobble by a few mm in the ring. I can't see any impact damage either on the ring or the crank itself, the wobble seems to be at the same place on the inner ring too, so question is were these made with a very poor tolerance to straightness or has something gone horribly wrong? And any opinions whether it will be ok to run on the bike?

Dibs the Fern frame
Yes indexed levers, I've actually tried with two different levers but both had the same problem, and secured plenty tight too!
