I recently picked up this frame and forks with no badge or decals except a 531 ST on the seatpost tube which was on wonky! And also 531 decals on the forks, put on after after an respray.
It has no markings on the BB shell or inside the head tube it has 'Reynolds' stamped on the rear dropouts and 'ALLEZ' on the fork dropouts, there was talk about a link to an early Specialised Allez but i think someone in authority could verify this. It came with a nice looking chrome tange headset and bottom bracket but not sure if that means anything. It's pretty lightweight, only 2.8kg for a 57cm ctt f&f.
The gear cable routing is plastic riveted on and says made in France but could have been added later as it looks fairly new, that's all I got! Anybody recognise it as a particular brand as I'd love to give it its badge back!
