Tourer to Gravel slag

[pwebb]

(very) Quick turnaround on this attractive but quite worn 531 Tourer - aiming to shed some weight and make it more rideable...

the usual trials and tribulations removing seat post and pedals after many years, immediate replacement needed of worn out cassette, chain, inner and outer cables and some wheel truing done



result:

I think I will stop here and take this one along to the cycle jumble in Manchester this Sunday as it will take a lot more to get this one in perfect condition and I doubt I will be happy with it unless it has a complete strip down and rebuild - it is perfectly serviceable as a gravel tourer as it stands.
