C chamber66 Dirt Disciple Feb 9, 2018 #1 Hi Is there any way of confirming a Raleigh bike with 531 tubing from the 70's which has been painted over is really what it is supposed to be?

H hamster Retro Wizard Feedback View Feb 9, 2018 #2 Frame number, weight, seatpost size, lugs are all good indicators.
Midlife Retro Wizard Feb 9, 2018 #4 27.2mm for a 70's 531 frame, pics would be nice.....I'm a child of the 70's lol
H hamster Retro Wizard Feedback View Feb 9, 2018 #5 I thought that 27.0 was also common for some of the heavier touring gauges of 531? Or is my Witcomb simply horribly distorted during brazing?
