531

Gotta say, I have always loved Formula 1 bikes, partly their cutting edge F1 inspired carbon, partly their British steel rear end, partly as they were made a mile down the road from me. My F1 guru has always been @uno-speedo , another Surrey boy who knows more about F1 bikes than anyone. Years...

From the frame number starting with 01, I believe this is a 2001 model and so one of the last UK made Dawes. (But I'll stand corrected if someone knows better!) A classic touring frame which includes lugs on the front forks for front panniers. 21 inch seat post tube, so a medium size...

Zinn 531 Centaur with campagnolo groupset and early hope cable disc brakes. rumoured 1 of 3

This was rescued from a cellar in scarbrough, it had a siezed seatpost that had been drilled to remove - unsuccessfully, took a white but I got it out and had it powdercoated, groupset came from a panasonic that was abandonned on the york-selby cyclepath = Mountain LX (one year only group)

Picked this British Eagle mountain bike frame and forks off Facebook market place for £30 and built up with some spare parts. Looking forward to riding this once I add some brake pads! Done a small amount of googling but haven’t found much information about these frames so thought I’d share.
