A quick build

[Tony Raynor]

Ok picked up this nice little reynolds 531 frame, marked as Fulmar but don't think they made bikes.

It's only a wee little bike at 19.5" frame. I've just stuck stuff that I had lying around so it's nowhere near finished but even with run if the mill gear it's still weighs in at just under 10.5kg. Hopefully it will be used by the budding triathlete so may even try to make it sub 10kg but I think that extra 0.5 kg is going to be hard.

Took it for a quick spin and it's not too shabby.

Very nice, love the crank and its a great colour, de-badge it and its very Bianchi/Italian.

Did think about debadging it but I didn't want it to be another Bianchi look alike.

The crank is just a bog standard custom A.

I'm really undecided whether to stick the shimano 105 golden arrow running gear on, but that would be purely cosmetic and I don't think it would give much weight/performance benefit.

Still have to get a proper seat stem as I didn't have a 27.2 one. Had to use a 27.0 with a home made shim just to give it a run out and find a matching pair of pedals.
