653 wasn't around in 1980 ..... either 531, 531sl or 753

531SL was called 531Pro i think by 1980.

JM says the bike was faster than him....i have the vision of the bike going down the road and him on another bike trying to catch it!

Re:

That's not an Argos either, its just painted by them. Argos only have 4 digit frame numbers.

I am glad you are all awake.As I said I am unsure of the tubing but sure it wasnt 531 and not 753.Geoff was an agent for Argos and supplied many customers with them.I will contact them when I am back at work and try to sort it out for you.It was very fast.
We all sat around after his funeral talking about the times we almost stayed on his wheel.jm.
