Kalkhoff 531 SL Professional frame 53 cm Withdrawn from sale

[Grease Monkey]

Stunning little frame, in German national team livery. Very light silver soldered construction. Complete with alloy period headset. 531 SL tubesets were the forerunner to 653. Builds into a very sharp performing little bike and LIGHT! Sadly 3cm too small for me. 53cm c to c.

£150

It was replaced by 531 Pro....653 is different....where the rear triangle is 753....with 531SL like 753 the frame was silver soldered...531SL is now a rarity...good price too...GLWS.

Yeah - I've got a full 753 frame the same size and this is about 150gr lighter.
I Like the finish of it too but sadly way too small for me.

It's a Raleigh 753 - you won't like the price I've got some more info on the 531SL: this would likely have been a German team issue bike. Darryl Webster acquired it in the early 80's and the guy I bought it from was loaned it to race on in the UK. It's extremely light, about 1400gr the frame set, silver soldered and what looks to be a complete Bocama lugset. The forks are more like the round to oval forks on my 753 than a regular 531 frame.
