Wanted Lugged or fillet brazed Classic Steel medium bike/frame

[narcotitlan]

Got an itch for a a classic MTB, steel, nice and bright colour/s, medium size-ish, UK or Japanese. Late eighties/early 90s!

531 etc is nice!

135 rear dropouts would be on the wish list but probably rare from this era. Handmade in the UK would be nice! Doesn’t have to be immaculate but not mauled..

Whaddyagot?

Thanks!

This is my daily rider which I do roughly 100 miles per week on to give an idea of size. Short-ish top tube, long head tube. I love it - but it doesn’t quite inspire me to do weekend rides! Probably just associate it with the daily grind/rushing to work tbh. Therefore looking for something a bit special - UK 531 built etc.

That’s certainly interesting! Thanks for posting - am I right that it’s bonded aluminium with steel lugs? Really just looking for steel, so I’ll pass.
