For Sale:
George Longstaff 26" wheel Touring Bike.
Reynolds 531 Designer Select tubes with Reynolds 531 forks.
Frame No: GL 1253 - 9
Seat post is 45 cm measured c2c.
Top tube is 47 cm measured c2c.
Down tube is 55 cm measured c2c.
Head tube is 12 cm.
7 speed Shimano index shifters.
Shimano Deore LX triple chain set 170 mm.
Shimano Dore DX front & rear derailleurs.
Mavic M231 559 x 17 (26") Profil PSP 36h anodised rims.
Shimano Deore DX hubs front & rear.
Shimano QR skewers.
Schwalbe Marathon Plus 26 x 1.35 tyres.
Shimano SLR cantilever brakes.
Shimano BB.
Tange Nova 300, 1" headset.
Shimano 7 speed touring cassette.
Shimano Deore brake levers.
Blackburn rear rack.
BBB saddle.
Awful EX stem.
2 x Bottle braze-ons.
SKS long mudguards.
Cat Eye wired computer.
MKS pedals. (missing both end caps).
The Pantographed fork crowns are lovely and there is a multitude of embossed detailed lug work on this. It must have cost a fortune to have it custom made as the original owner had done.
Chrome rear stays and front fork tips embossed with REYNOLDS on them.
Rear pump braze-ons.
There are quite a few chips to the paint but fortunately, none of the lug work nor the decals are chipped.
There are no dents at all and I have had it checked on a frame jig by my m8 who owns my LBS. All good.
I took it out for another spin this morning to photograph it. It rolls absolutely lovely, always the sign of a quality set up.
Realistically it's for a Gent/Lady 5' 2" to 5' 5".
So there it is.
It hadn't been used for 10 years so it took a bit of fettling/re-commissioning which was a pleasure to do and so easy on such a small bike.
Everything works, nothing is in need of replacement except the dreadful stem. A Nitto one would look so much nicer.
Nothing is worn or tired. The BB, hubs, headset and gearing all smooth and quiet.
IMHO, It's a thing of beauty that needs the right owner so I'm going to price it I believe modestly.
£ 295 cash on collection or bank transfer.
Collection only from the GL2 area of Gloucestershire.
N.B.
I have lots more photos and will post them on request. I'm pretty sure it's only 5 photos per thread so I'll post some more separately later.
