Hi folks,
I'm looking at a bike locally here in Ireland tomorrow morning, with a view to buying.
Seller has advertised it as a Reynolds 531 lightweight of some deescription (model unknown, as it has been resprayed and has no decals).
What's throwing me is that it has wraparound rear stays, but also has the little circular hole with the knurled outer rim for attaching a lamp bracket to the front fork, weinmann ''safety'' brake levers, one weinmann sidepull caliper and one weinmann centre pull caliper.
Derailleurs are unknown and it's got cottered cranks.
Also has open 4 cd's (hubs unknown)fitted by a previous owner...aren't they a late 80s/early 90s rim?
Is this a gaspipe special being touted as something more exotic?
Any help/advice asap would be very much appreciated!
Thanks for taking the time to read this
