Withdrawn Very nice 531 Carless (handbuilt in Crewe) 54cm road frame - £125

[velocipede]

OK, so I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I've only just bought this and am no longer in a position to build it up, so just looking to get back what I've sunk into it.

Really nicely built Carless 531 frame and forks - chrome is all in superb condition.

54cm centre to centre seat tube and 55cm c to c on the top tube.

Vertical dropouts, nutted brake fitting.

Top tube cable guides, bottle cage bosses on down tube, braze on gear lever bosses.

Stronglight alloy headset.

Comes with Cinelli 64 bars and 1a stem, with some Shimano Exage levers.

It'll make a fantastic retro build - I've just run out of cash as I'm trying to finish off my retro-mod build of a nice 531 Swinnerton.

£175 inc postage from Cheshire - bit less of you can collect.

Or I could split it up - so £140 for the frame/forks/headset and £35 for bars/stem (levers thrown in)

Those prices inc postage so a bit less if you can collect in Cheshire?

It's not going to end well for me writing that about Campag. The death squads will find me eventually.

Of course I completely agree with this statement!!!

Whilst there’s a lot to be said for a set of short Campagnolo dropouts, there’s also a lot be said for beautifully chromes vertical dropouts with no fiddly adjusters!! And if you’re going vertical, the Campag version are a little bit ugly in my book, whereas these are lovely!

As you haven,t built & ridden this frame has it been checked proffesionally that it is in track.
