531 Competition

[FINNEY1973]

mines a late 531c - 1995. when i've sorted out a parts change i'll be asking about the tube angles. not as steep as the one for sale on here a while back.

They have 25% off after christmas shaun - get saving

BTW how is your Aende coming along?

Sounds like a killer frame . The silly steep angle road frames were 1975 -77 but the pros stopped riding them so for the road everything basically went 74/74. Then the TT crowd started lo pro and funny bikes LOL

Chris Marshall was expecting me to drop the frame off so looking to take a day off work. I was looking at the decal situation and someone has kindly sent me some but not quite the same as the ones on Steve Denton's bike so going to have a think.

This week's work was trying to sort out some shimano stuff, I bought an Alps bike (never heard of them before I bought it) for the early shimano on it, I had it stored at work in the basement but was told it has to go so dismantled. Took all the crud off the drivetrain and its a first gen black shimano with a chain guard with a T code which is an oddity as that's a 90's code!

Never mind it's first gen and black

Black DA will be superb; wouldn't of guessed you'd of chosen that groupset though

This road is literally just around the corner; I need to go & see which was Pongo's shop...

That's a very recognisable picture

The Aende top tube braze ons go down the left so that's Campag or Shimano brakes (ignoring the alternatives), plus the 130 BCD of the Dura Ace is a bit more small ring friendly for my pootling. Aside from that it's SR / Ofmega / kyokuto stuff more than likely

Broke a broomstick trying to remove the stem today
