Rare chance to pick up a frame from this legendary Bristol builder.
It's a 531 frame & fork with "Refurbished by Andy Powell" decals & head badge. The paint is good in parts but ideally needs at least the top tube re-doing.
Shimano 600 (R6207) (1984-87 era) cranks (170 mm with 52/42 rings), brakes, front mech, headset.
Wheels are 36 spoke Gipiemme q/r hubs with grease ports, rims are silver Mavic Reflex SUP with DT Swiss s/s spokes, in excellent condition.
7 speed 12-28 cassette fitted & Ultegra indexed downtube shifter. Front shifter is Campag. Rear mech is a more modern Shimano. All the transmission works nice & smoothly.
Cinelli 40 cm bars with Cinelli 11 cm stem.
There is no seat or post (27.2), no pedals, no brake lever hoods & one brake shoe is missing (will try to find one.)
A really nice bike in the making here but a frame size too big for me.
£325 collected from Exmouth/Exeter, Devon or could post at cost. Or maybe meet at one of the M5 services if you're in the South West?

Was he building road frames that early? I don't know but was assuming the Shimano 600 parts dated it. Those over bb cable guides are very nice!
