Not sure if this is free. "make me an offer" he says...

Pretty but It's not full 531. Started out as a 5 speed town bike. Rebuilt for my mate.

So it's a bit of a sheep in wolfs clothing? Nice work.

There's one of these for sale via Gumtree, Poringland near Norwich. Only £50

What's the deal with the 531 frame? Likely to be Raleigh thread bottom bracket and fork? I don't think I want it but someone else might.

The Richmond had standard 24tpi bottom bracket and head set. 531 main tubes only. I had one and they ride nicely.

Sold to my mate in Brighton, who commuted on it for five years. Until he was knocked off and the bike flattened.
Edited, sorry didn't look up, same picture DOH

Looks a little on the large side. I've asked seller how big.

Is there really somewhere called poringland?
How pizarre.

 

[chickendrumsticks]

Yes there is. A little south of Norridge
