Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

You are right about the date. I built this frame about 1963, based on the number. Also I think the forks are not original; for a TT bike of that era they would have been oval blades. Bill Soens.

seller has sent me a pic showing the forks carrying the same digits as bottom bracket

Hi Bill

Just a cheeky question if that's OK... I would have expected that frame with the rear stays and "Italian" lugs to have had a fully sloping Cinelli fork crown. Is that right?

Thanks

Shaun

Three local to me:

Let's start with the cheap one - £40 start for a 531ST frame/fork flat bar Dawes. If SWMBO had any interest in bikes this'd be for her:

Sir/madam has more cash do they? Then how about a 1987 Peugeot PX10 Isoard in original condition for £500?

Then the expensive one - way over my budget - a 1994 Colnago Master with Campag Record for £1995:

Like the Dawes Look-alike Crespera Lugs made by Haden so a nice frame indeed

That Dawes says it's a 531st frame!

edit just looking at this bike and the forks/frame look great,if i lived close i would be round to view with cash in hand, this is the rare 26 inch wheel type of frame.
