    531 Professional SL tubing

    This is pretty rusty. The forks are Professional as well and have cut out crowns with alloy inserts. I've had it indoors for over a year and really must sort it.

    531 Professional SL tubing

    Is it as weak as people say? the answer will have an effect on the final rebuild. Either a pretty to look at ride to the pub show off thing, or something for the odd decent ride. And if I buy a set of clinchers to use instead of the tubulars.

    Practicalities of using an old bike... a lot?

    I'm talking late 70's Mercian, restored with a few added brazings. Then fitted with modern kit. What I don't know is what happens to old steel, it's not rusty. There are a few patches, but nothing major. If in otherwise good condition can it 'just fail'? I wanted to enjoy it on audaxes up to...

    Open to offers on this now as I've bought a new crosser anyway. Don't be shy. BTW this is suitable for fix/free conversion as it has semi vertical drop outs.

    Could powder coating damage a lightweight

    You are right of course. I'd normally use Bob Jackson, no reason not to is there?

    E W Hannington restore begins

    Bought this rather rare Hannington 531 Professional frame a while back and decided to slowly sort it. Would have been nice to go Campag, but I already had some nice condition 600 kicking about. And as I wanted to use this bike went with it. Just loosely hung a few bits on it today to make sure...

    Could powder coating damage a lightweight

    I have an old Hannington to repaint, it's 531 Professional which I think was the stripped down 531c, i.e before the specifically made 531SL. Anyway I'm sure I once read that PC'ing might harm such a light frame?

    White Benotto & white cables...where.

    I'm struggling to find any white Benotto tape, I can see silver. Anyone know where I get hold of some. I also need some white brake cable outer, again I can see Jagwire, but I think they have a 'weird' bit to cope with being wrapped. I need stuff for 'out the top' levers. And the stuff seems a...
