Wanted Wanted: 57cm / 58cm vintage road bike frame / track frame

100/120mm OLN to run fixed/single speed on rear + 56cm ctc = 57cm/22 1/2" ctt which fits description of a lovely Pat Hanlon frameset from 1964 (mentioned on classiclightweights pages) I have...
 
1980's Chas Bland in Reynolds Designer Select tubing. 100/127 spaced with short point lugs, 'shot in' rear stays. Fork has an internal aero crown so probably late 80's. Built in a 'crit' style with a higher BB for better cornering...and it works. Thinks it around 57 ctc seat tube but I'll confirm, I'm just a wee tad over 5'10 but it will suit someone a bit taller.
I did manage to break a rear dropout when I broke Campag axle? Chas repaired free of charge and was ridden a few years after without any issues.
Too nice a frame to scrap as it rides as any good 531 frame should.
Worth every penny of £100 to me.

I have this Legnano frameset. 58 CTC seat tube, 58CTC top tube, 16.5 head tube, 126mm rear spacing. Campag chromed dropouts, chromed chainstay and fork. Takes an italian BB and Legnano unusually for an Italian builder used 531 not Columbus on this. No dents but plenty of small scratches. PXL_20250226_094114269.webp
