Time to build another average bike - 1992 Claud Butler Spectre.

A good, honest 531 frame and a DX groupset. What’s not to like? The sort of thing I’m half heartedly looking out for. My son wants a bike to get around on. There are probably plenty out there.

My lad wants 10 mile out on his bike today so I’m going to take this for a spin.

Is it a 1" or 1" & 1/8th headset?

1 ⅛"

I really like that!

Definitely a few 531 bikes knocking about, but they’re often more 80s than 90s . With your 1 1/8 headset I’d be tempted to retromod with a threadless rigid setup (sorry for the blasphemy)

Thanks... I just thought it looked similar to a Townsend frame I have but mine is 501 and 1" headtube.

Looks similar kind of age I’d say.
