I've just picked up my 531 Professional Hannington frame set, for £100 it was a bit of a lottery.
I think it's okay but I'd love some help.
First it has rust in just one area that I can't rub down to shiny steel, is this a major issue?
The forks have alloy oval plugs in the crown, I've never seen this before and one is missing. Any help here would be great. I suppose a bit like the 'coins' in Gios frames.
The farmer who found this also gave me some wheels as freebies as they weren't in the sale. The rear is a stunning Mavic Argent sprint on a nice Cyclone hub with a 5 speed straight through freewheel.
The front is a LF Normandy with no internals, what would fit?
Bonus bits are a set of early nutted 105 calipers and non aero levers with mint hoods.
The sad bit is the Campag chainset looks like a Strada? but is very very badly corroded and has Williams and Zeus ring, the BB is fine as are the tapers. that's going
