Andy Powell / Overburys 531 road bike

[Attempted Mustache]

Hi all,

Thought I’d share some photos of my Andy Powell build. Acquired the frame in lockdown and had most of the parts knocking about - sorry to any purists for the mix of eras! Seems to have been a custom order, and not the original fork - hence the spacers. I’d say its an 80s frame with a (very) 90s paintjob. Cinelli bb, oddly placed second set of bottle bosses, nice lugwork.

Nice . The set of bottle bosses under the downtube is typical of a touring frame.

That is fanbloodytastic, colours just work so well... suprised the Crocs wear old fart hasn't been in and left a comment yet...

Very nice indeed. What makes you say it’s a later paint job?

Sorry, not clear from these photos but it’s a 531 ‘respray’ decal on the seat tube. Also the frame is drilled for old style caliper fitting whilst the fork takes the modern recessed type.
