Nice.

Looking at the forks, makes wonder if they've had a prang and been pushed back ? The gap between the frame and the front wheel looks much narrower than I'd expect.

I agree. Looking at the steering tube angle, one would expect the forks to begin going forward of that, not backwards as appears to be the case here.

Do you like the way they put rubber grips on the drops and pull the levers down to meet them?

Must say that looks a black beauty even the exage groupset looks like a nice 400 along with biopace apart from calipers being single pivot its an ok set up.

Nice bike but unusual to find that style of frame in 531 SL / Pro?

That's to allow you to move the brake lever to suit your riding position.

Lol, Only thing is i think my riding position on that bike would be one of abstract fear if i went for the brakes and they had moved round a bit .
