Re: Harry Hall 531 Professional resist new paint, that can be done later if you really feel the need. Original is always best and bikes are for riding, not just for show :)

Re: Harry Hall 531 Professional Tyres and bar tape are consumables, bike looks ace 8) Are those Sachs Huret Aris downtube levers by any chance? I only ask because I fitted a set to my Basso, but I think I managed to lose some small ball bearings from inside the right hand lever. I got some...

Re: Harry Hall 531 Professional My 531C Orbit frame takes a 27mm dia post.

Re: Harry Hall 531 Professional Is it plain white enamel or polychromatic? I have used fine steel wool and smoothrite (smooth hammerite) with some success. Its surprising how easy it is to accept something which hasn't cost an arm and a leg :D There is always the option of a professional...
