I've recently had the good fortune to work on a 1949 531 framed road bike. This beauty is worth £85 in anybody's Christmas cash. GLWTS.

I'm very glad it's going to have a new custodian and very sad all at the same time

Thanks guys, I couldn't resist this one! One small consolation, its staying in the hills, but just slightly smaller ones

I'll keep you posted on this beautiful new project. If anyone feels like sending a pile of 1948 components my way, feel free

Re:

That's a super looking frame and I was sorely tempted! I look forward to seeing the build thread.
