Hello all, Im new to this forum so a big hello to all. I am a keen cyclist still doing a bit with a bit of a soft spot for the old steels that I remember racing in the 80,s. I am building a 531 pro Brian Rourke (1984 I think) currently (the bike I coveted as a youngster). I have last week picked up a Raleigh which is complete with Campag groupset, Mavic MA40,s, Cinelli bars and stem with the GOD frame sticker and an SB number on BB. Frame is Reynolds 531 with Reynolds in green and the numbering in red. Turbo saddle is dated 1985 but this could be aftermarket. It has a sloping fork crown (not a lugged crown) and I would love to know a little more about it. It is very unfortunately not my frame size but I would value some direction on it. It is in need of restoration but is complete. Any input to educate me would be greatly appreciated as Im not sure what to do with it and have contemplated taking the groups in place of my Shimano 600 on the rourke but it doesn't seem right to break it. BB no. is SB7703 54 Photos attached. Thanks to all in advance.
