Hi,
I've been a frequenter and admirer of this site for sometime but have never posted anything so please let me know if I haven't followed procedure here. I was hoping that someone on here might be able to help identify a recent purchase of mine.
Bought on gumtree, it was advertised as being a Ribble made with Reynolds 531 and after stripping the paint there are some very faint but legible 'Reynolds 531 Butted' stamps at the intersection of some of the tubes. The forks and stays are chrome with campagnolo dropouts. However I have not been able to find a legible serial no. anywhere at all. It looks to me like a frame worth restoring but was hoping to get some advice as to what it might actually be assuming it is not a Ribble?
EDIT: Oops I forgot the specs!
It came wearing Raleigh branded Weinmman 610 brakes front and rear.
Raleigh branded Suntour rear mec.
Solida Crankset 48 -38 chainrings.
Sachs Huret clamp on front mech.
and mismatched wheels.
I can add more pics if anything would be useful to see.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Jake
