I’ve put in twenty odd miles on this Henry Burton build and it rides beautifully, I know it’s a cliché but I’d actually keep it if I didn’t have so many bikes already! :)

Pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/86857926@N05/

I bought the frame from a guy who inherited it but he had no idea of its history and knew little about bikes. It looked completely unused, even internally I could find absolutely no sign of post scratching, corrosion, dirt or grease, it’s like it had just rolled out of the workshop - but it’s clearly at least 30 years old judging by the 27” touring geometry and fork lamp braze on!

It looks to have been repainted and is pretty much immaculate, even around the drop outs. I think the tube set is probably 531st or similar judging by weight, ping test and 'feel'.

Whatever its true heritage, it’s a smart and comfortable frame in pristine condition.

The specs:

• H Burton steel frame, relaxed touring geometry, probably 1970’s 531st
  
• 61cm Seat CtC (Suit rider from 5.11+ - I’m 6.6 and find it very comfortable as pictured)
  
• 60cm top CtC
  
• 126mm spacing
  
• New looking headset that came with the frame, caged bearings serviced and smooth·
  
• San Marco Rolls brown leather saddle with gold plated rails in very good condition
  
• 25.4mm zoom seatpost and alloy shim – just what I had spare and works fine
  
• Shimano 600 Cranks w/ Shimano 42t ring and new stronglight single chain ring bolts
  
• UN26 shimano sealed bb with a few hundred miles on the clock
  
• Brand new M324 Touring pedals, 1 side SPD, 1 side flat pedal
  
• 3\32KMC chain
  
• Brand new Alhonga long drop dual pivot callipers
  
• Brand new brake cables and housing
  
• Brand new Kalloy stem
  
• 80’s Sakae custom champion drop bars and levers
  
• New Fizik microtex tape
  
  
  

Wheelset:

• Handbuilt by Spa Cycles, only a few months old with just a few hundred miles on the clock
  
• System EX track hubs with fixed/free rear and bolt axles
  
• 16t Surly fixed cog & lockring, 3\32 (brand new)
  
• 16t Dicta freewheel 3\32
  
• DB Sapim race spokes
  
• 700c Rigida Exal 17 Rim, 36 spoke, ideal for everyday use
  
• 25c Vittoria pro tyres, under a hundred miles on these
  
• Almost new Conti tubes (please excuse the long valve, it’s just what I had spare)
  
  
  

Considering the quality and newness of many parts I’m looking for £350. PM if interested, viewing available at Tower Bridge.

Thanks for looking!

Price drop £30

Sold - thanks for your interest guys!

Sorry Amey! I have been caught out both ways with these usernames now ;)

Ps yep, bear in mind the battery pack - most marketing seems a little deceiving just showing the little lamps. Google images to see 3cmx8cm prism shaped battery pack which straps to your frame/bars.

Amey arranged collection so first divs to her. Yep, includes a battery pack and charger. The pack is attached to your frame with wires running to the 2 lights. I think i need to find something similar which takes regular batteries.

I've had this top end rechargeable LED dual lighting rig sitting around for a while now. I originally bought it for touring but before I got to try it out, I decided the rechargeable nature of this unit would not be practical for touring.

This is a really well regarded lighting set, ideal for heavy commuting or even night time trail riding.

I haven't even unpacked it so it's as good as 'brand new'. Can't find this cheaper than about £70 online but will be happy with £45. Collect from Tower Bridge, will also happily post for cost.

Thanks for looking!

Closed ad - On gumtree now. Thanks.

Oops! Would be happy with £10, was quite pricey, about £20 and is completely unused, boxed as new.

Thanks

Shimano sold - 144bcd Campy (i think) still available

Tubes sold, tyre still available, thanks again Jordan!

Sold - Thanks again James!

If nothing comes up, I can highly recommend Alhonga long drops from Spa Cycles £24 for a pair inc postage. Dual pivot, easy fitting and fine adjustment, most importantly powerful stoppers.

Thanks Jo, have to say I wholeheartedly agree! Such a shame to let it go... She needs the cash more than a second bike right now though.

Revised pricing - thanks

Yes, i beleive both are 3/32

That's a fair point Thunder... I guess I just got on with my Aliante from day one so expected magic from the Arione... Hmmm... Thinking...

SOLD

This was a shed rescue from an older lady who originally rode it to the South of France and back 25 years ago and left it in a shed ever since. It was once a high-end touring build of the late 80's. These quality Londoners were sold exclusively out of a shop in Covent Garden which has sadly vanished.

Cosmetics are great considering age, a few marks and scratches here and there but paint and decals in good condition. Rides just fine but could do with some love and fiddling to really polish her up.

Some other details:
Handbuilt, Reynolds 531st Mixte frame and fork.
Seat post is 20" ctt - GF is 5ft 6, would fit anyone from about 5ft3-5ft9
Stronglight cranks with lovely drilled 36t chain ring (also including second original drilled 48t outer ring)
Hattaswan headset
Very light Nimrod rear rack
Dawes champion bars with Weinmann levers
27" weinmann rims on mallard hubs
Weinmann Canti brakes
New ITM bar tape
New 27 1/4" Marathon Tyres
New cables
New dicta 16t freewheel

SOLD

Thanks for looking!

Yep, as good as brand new, just been sat in my storage box for a few months. They are Schrader valves, 40mm, for 700x28-37c or 27"-27 3/4" - Should be able to make out the details on the pics to confirm :)

Thanks.

A really nice chap, we closed on £50 via PM:

Price drops, thanks

Selling this complete set of Shimano tourney levers and integrated shifters, purchased for a geared project that ended up becoming a 7 speeder. Did fit them but not for long, pretty much 'as new'.

Sure, Tourney = 'cheap' components but for leisure projects or repair, they are a great value solution and will perform just fine for many years.

Bought for £25 happy to sell for £15, collect from Tower Bridge or Kentish Town.

Thanks for looking!

Tried these clips out once and decided I'm happier without, so happy to pass them on for £10.

Can collect from Tower Bridge or Kentish Town, PM for details.

Thanks for looking!

Have a well used but with plenty of life left Marathon Plus, it's 700x25 - £5

Collect from Kentish Town or Tower Bridge, Pm for details.

Thanks for looking!

(inner tubes sold)

SOLD

Due to a change of plans am selling this set of bars and Weinmann levers.

The GF decided to stick with her drops. Also throwing in a couple of pairs of cheap grips, looking for £15 all together.

Not 100% sure but believe the levers will work fine with short-pull road calipers.

Pick up from Kentish Town or Tower Bridge, PM for details.

Thanks for looking!
