Hi all,
Would love some info and ID, possibly appraisal on this recent acquisition. No info from the seller, but I thought it looked nice, and though I think it’s too big for me, I’ve never had a Reynolds 531 bike, and as I hope that’s what this is, I’m looking forward to having a ride on it.
Things I know:
Zeus dropouts, 27.2 seatpost, Raleigh binder bolt, Campy Record shifters, Suntour Suberbe crankset & pedals, front derailleur, and Suntour Cyclone rear der. Wolber Champion Gentlemen rims, Shimano hubs, Weinmann center-pulls, GB(?) stem. 5-speed freewheel w/close gears. Edit: Brooks Pro, assume the original, though I’ve never had one so I don’t know how to gauge age or condition on these.
Not sure about
:
uh, age, model, I assume this is a repainted frame, don’t know if any chrome. I know nothing about lugs, but these look nice to my eye!
Kinda wrap-around seat stays, but not completely. It’s pretty light. Serial number is D9622- I was expecting to see two letters first,but then I read that older Carltons had a single letter, but if it’s lots newer then maybe it’s an Ireland-produced bike and not top of the line? (Or did they make Reynolds frames in Dublin too?)
Anyway, thanks for any help with this mystery!
