Sold 1990 Overbury's (Overburys) Pioneer frame and forks - Reynolds 531 19" £150

[pimpdriver]

For sale is my 1990 Overbury's Pioneer frame, forks and stem. When I bought it the seat post was stuck, so I used caustic soda, and then got Argos racing cycles to ream the seat tube. They also cold set the rear end to 135mm.

Reynolds 531 tubing - Reynolds dropouts (someone on here will probably argue that Overbury's never used Reynolds.......)

Has many many braze-ons (triple bottle cages, front and rear mudguards, front and rear racks.

Reynolds 531 frame and forks. Has been resprayed (probably by Argos) in "flam blue". Will need a respray.

Argos also did a repair to the seat binder where there was a tear, and they brazed on a repair over it.

Have got the original Deore DX front and rear mechs, and Mavic M261 (not M231) rims if you want them chucking in too.....

£150 plus £20 P&P (or collect from near Cardigan, West Wales).

I like this... Could be a suitable tourer for my partner. Let me do some measurements and lI'll be in touch.

To clarify, its front and rear cantilever?

I'll take it if uphilldownhilldave doesn't buy it, to be honest all i really want is the forks because they look perfect size for my Dave Yates Vulcan and look like they're also fillet brazed.

I was gonna build it up as an RTB but lack of time……

you can't split it up!!!!

 

[Spanky22b]

you can't split it up!!!!

It would be a tough decision but it would have to be made to make my own Vulcan prototype I'm not 100% sure but i think the prototype was fitted with Reynolds forks, i'm sure sinnerman could help with that one.

I'm just a little worried it might be too big now. How tall are you if you dont mind me asking?

Be a shame to split it tbh.... But I'll give you £25 for the frame as the worth appears to be the fork
