Major Nichols 1950's track frame 531/nervex

[ayu786]

For sale is an early Major Nichols track frame which I believe to be quite rare, it is composed of 531 tubing, has nervex lugs, and also features chater-lea track dropouts, the seat tube measures 58cm(23") and the top tube measures 57cm.

The frameset is in need of refinishing and I am currently halfway through stripping the paint but have decided not to continue with the refinishing as I do not have the time or money alongside studying.

Beneath the bad paint job pictured i have found the original paint to have been enamel white with red lug lining.

the Frame is structurally completely sound, no dents, cracks or bends, just a horrible paint job!

For this piece of history I am looking for £200 posted or £185 if collected, I'm based in Nottinghamshire.

Thanks

Re:

Those lugs look very much like those on my early JRJ frame - really nice. If you have them lined around they look fantastic.
I must admit that`s probably the worst paint job I`ve ever seen!
Well worth restoring.
