I have just scored an old road frame and I cant find any serial or old decals on it anywhere… even after scraping back the layers of paint. The paint smells a toxic sweet kinda smell… has blown my head off after scraping it back!
But one thing I have found in at the top of the seat tube on the rightside outerside is the number 735 that is embosed into the frame and what appears to be cable holes in the tope tube… and a campag bottom bracket.
everything else is an open book…
I have serached reynolds site and they dont seem to have anything about that number in their tubing…
What about the decal on the seat tube that says Reynolds 531 tubing…? 735 in this case refers to the lug set. And now more info on that white track frame please
i dont think that decal is original as it has been sprayed like a thousand times… so i cant be sure… looks like it will remain a secret code… i can pretend it is a brotherhood symbol!
the pearl white track frame is a steel hillbrick frame… I think… just waiting on some bits and bobs to arrive so i can buid her up!
you may be right about the decal. While it’s probably a no-no - I’ve put a 531 decal on a bike which seems 531-like but I’m unsure about. Just to make it look complete yeah?
Then again, it may be 531 simply because everything is
I bought a set of Superbe Track dropouts from them. Waiting for the money to build a bike up around them, and then transfer the full groupset over to them!!!
yes, it will be the full Superbe Pro bike!!!
I cannnnnnnnnnnn’t wait, but I can’t afford it all at once!
