SOLD
A beautifully presented 1979 vintage Reynolds 531 Carlton Professional tastefully Improved and updated with mid 1990’s high quality components including Shimano Ultegra 6500 and Dura Ace 7700 super-smooth 2x9 speed drivetrain. The bike retains its vintage look with the benefit of more modern and far better quality components.
Freshly built up from a bare frame and only ridden a handful of miles, this stunning bike is now all set up and ready for the next owner to enjoy. If you have followed by build threads you will know that I have an obsessive attention to detail, this bike will not disappoint, it is stunning.
