I have looked into it being a raleigh but the serial number is wrong and I can't see any ref to Raleigh's with fastback seat stays

As I have very little time these days I have to be realistic and I am not going to be able to restore this frame so it is up for sale.

£70 or nearest offer??
I've tried researching the frame A LOT but haven't been able to pin it down exactly.

Its original colour seems to be metallic red, it has lovely lugs and a unique looking seat stay, seat clamp junction.

The seat post is 27.2mm.

The dropouts are stamped with BREV CAMPAGNOLO vertical and seem to be the 1010/1 type http://campagnolo.wikispaces.com/Dropouts

The numbers 1617 are stamped into the bottom bracket and it has 3x cable guides along the top tube with mudguard eyelets.

It seems that the head tube panel, was gold and it has a large band of gold on the seat tube. There is some remanence of blue transfers on parts of the gold and on the fork. It also has had at some point braze ons on the down tubes...

The red is a darkish metallic red which is the first colour the bike was. I have stripped more paint off and I have drawn up what I think it looked like as a frame when it was red.

Dimensions wise it is as follows:

22" Seat tube (centre of BB to top of top tube)
22" Top tube (centre of headtube to centre of seat post)

I wish I had the time for this as its got some really nice details.

Folks, I've got hold of a Graham Weigh (I think) which has numerous markings on the bottom bracket. Does anyone have any info on the serial numbers used by Graham Weigh (or Paul Donohue) as to what they mean in terms of build date etc?

Hi all,

I'm wondering if you can help me identify this frame which has been painted to look like a bianchi... sadly.

Its original colour seems to be metallic red, it has lovely lugs and a unique looking seat stay, seat clamp junction.

Any help great fully appreciated.

Folks, I am after some cheap drop bars. Make and material not important as long as they are the correct shape and are not knackered.

Cheers

Agreed, all part of the learning process. Don't think Hitler gave anyone the blue slip ;)

I was there with Clithereo cycle club so didn't think anyone off here would be there. We are going to try and book another group session and make sure all riders are of the same ability.

TimKodd, who were you? i was the fat lad in the old giant top (:

Ah, so you were one of the first group who was asked who you were racing against for not keeping a constant speed? ;)

I was skinny bloke in white long sleeve top Tim. nice to share session with you.

Ah, I was behind you when we tried 2nd time for the blue slip and nearly ran up the back of you ;) . I had the Bianchi top on.

I was there. General consensus was that the coach was hard work and actually didn't 'coach'. From a beginners point of view he wasn't very encouraging. Still I had a great evening and enjoyed it a lot.

Nice white panasonic bike at the velodrome yesterday. Someone else as well on an argos who got bollocked by the coach...

Wow, that is beautiful for a first build, very well executed.
p.s
is that GorgeousBabyBlue™ ?

Ta, colour is light grey. RAL7032 I think

what cranks are those? they look brand new.

Its a Zenith one from Hilary Stone

For anyone interested, here is a photo of the 40mm wheels in silver

Here is my first ever build. Its a Graham Weigh 531 frame, wheels are from Varno and other bits were sourced through classifieds on here

More photos here if you are interested http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomkidd/sets/72157626558839872/

Folks, just thought people might be interested in knowing that http://www.practicalcycles.com/ sell velo orange gear from just outside blackpool. I went there today to get some bar tape, very friendly chap, normally Internet based but will let you visit if you ask.

Ah, that explains. Cheers

Is this place still open? I dropped by a few Saturdays ago to have a nosey and the it was shut, now the website is down?

Bars

Anyone got any System Ex track bars silver/polished or any other alloy track bars they want to sell?

Folks, selling my Velo Orange Type 6 Saddle. Lovely looking saddle brand new and unused comes with special spanner etc. £50

Just ben speaking to Jamie at Freshtripe and it turns out that the seat might be an early version which was available in black and brown, as nice as it is I might pass it on as I'd like them to match. The seat may match brown Brooks tape but I'll research that.

p.s. I think a Brooks saddle might match better?

I've emailed freshtripe, I was informed they were a good match.

Here is how different they are...
