Just my 2 cents ... I can understand if you have bulging bank accounts for cool hobbies, or you are a constructor who has been just dying for years to get yer hands on some fresh tubing and try a 531 frame. OTOH ... why not just buy a new Ishiwata set as used for keirin construction here in Japan? Maybe I'm missing something — even though my first love was 531.
