531SL in good condition is rare....£175 seems fair for a good frame...EB have a good reputation.....Too big for me...pity we cannot see a pic and I won't waste your time just to have a gander!....GLWS.

Could not have put it better myself Sawston! I was overwhelmed by these type of people but I'm glad this frame is going to a genuine buyer now.

Re:

Is this in the gold colourway?? Nice frame, good price. Didn't really need to use the term hipster though. A word lugged (cycling pun thrown in for good measure) around with really no meaning at all.

Re:

Lugged? It could have been fillet brazed...so fair comment. As for the ‘hipster’ comment...Maybe, maybe not...not overly offensive and not attacking anyone in particular.

Snowflake might have been a more apt description, going off the level of butthurt being expressed in this thread?
