Really nice 531 (badge removed during respray--in yellow) criterium dimensioned fillet brazed frame up for sale.
Horizontal top tube
With a condor track wheel set> MA3 front, Open Pro rear. >minimal brake wear on front, untouched rear.
I used these wheels on my track bike, A fixed sprocket is on there however due to the lock ring thread going (I posted about this a while back) these are to be used as a single free only.
And Surly single-ator (pull down tensioning) as its a vertical drop bike (126mm spaced)
Selle Rolls saddle too.
The frame is quite unusual. really nice seat tube/wheel stay lug (the only lug). Steep angles and there is toe overlap using 175mm cranks with size 11 shoes.
selling coz it doesn't fit me:
I bought the frame not long after I stopped messengering after falling in love with it on first viewing. I knew it wasn't my size. i convinced myself the tape measure read 23 inches....however it proved to be way way too small for me.
Due to the angles I imagine this would work far better as a larger frame for a smaller rider. The guy i bought it off was quite small.
Threaded headset included and Campag square taper BB.
Photographs as soon as I can borrow a camera.
Does anyone still not ride fixed ? If not I'm wasting my time, but i hate ebay and hate the classifieds and t**ts on cycling f**king plus even more.
It's a really twitchy ride. Actually very enjoyable for city riding once used to it.
looking at offers close to £150
Shout any questions my way:

PS I'm drilling the fork to accomodate contemporary brakes. I used it with old brakes.
You'll need to use a longer bolt back brake -

Finally took some photographs last night and drilled the front fork for modern brakes today. Will paint the hole tonight.
I also discovered that it is possible to use the dropouts for a fixed wheel as there is just enough play with the 45 degree angle to get a bit of tensioning on a chain, aided by a half link.
HOWEVER I am selling this for single free usage as the wheel I'm including has a damaged thread on the lockring, so ignore the sprocket in the photos (or don't, but never resist the pedals). It's just a bonus that you can just about run it fixed.
The surly singleator is included and will be fitted.
The back tyre is an ultra gator skin and there is an innurtube although I think It's puntured at the moment.
I'm aslo including a very basic 80's seat post. These are just some extras rather than deal breakers.
Ignore the back brake, that is just on there for illustration. You will need a long drop brake on the back as the frame can accomodate mud guards, but lacks the braze ons for them.
Dimensions:
seat tube: just under 22.5" c-t
top tube: 21 c-c
head tube: 6 crown to crown -
