I still have my 1991 Alves frame hanging up in the back room, this 531 is fully fillet brazed with internal cable routing, reinforced head tube and chromed rear end.... I should get probably get around to building it sometime :oops:

Merry Christmas :xmas-cool:

That's an awesome frame :)
 
Re:

Sexy frame... Woulda been tempted to have that off you if it took cantilever brakes.
 
Re:

Cheers! Yeah, was Campag cantis originally, then Suntour SE and was subsequently modded by Charlie for V’s. Wouldn’t take much to reinstate a bridge and extend the pipe back around the seat post, but would mean yet another paint job.... :facepalm:

Wondered who got that! Who made it?

Not sure Roly but I’m thinking maybe Lee Cooper
 
Certainly has the same blueprint as the one on the previous page.... :cool:
 
Only reason I ask is the similarities between that and this Orbit I just sold:

Re:

Ah, cool, I’d read that before but obviously not taken in the connection, hopefully the Orbit’s new owner knew or knows now - a bit of extra kudos for that frame!
