Quite a find since I sold the components for $50 bucks and ended up with a nice vintage Reynolds frame HS and BB for $25.

Those are nice bikes, and with an internally geared hub it'll be great. The earlier Raleigh mixte's came with upright ("allrounder") bars. Are you going to go that route?

I don't believe it's 531, though.
