Hi,
does anyone know of this bike, it has Reynolds 531 frame, campagnolo gears, that's all i know about it, except it goes like sh#t off a shovel...looks like it's hardly been used....bought it for £10 (off the legal owner!)...have i got a bargain?

531 frame denotes some degree of quality compared with mass produced bikes of their day.
I like the way the front fork is curved forward... unlike modern bikes, and i find it absorbs bumps and buzz much more effectively than straight forks.
£10 !!!! bargain. There should be many miles of enjoyment in that one :biggrin:
