No worries, will keep you posted then

how much would you sell it for?

Based on above suggestion and similar estimate of £100-150 on another forum seems somewhere north of a hundred would be reasonable. Got a mate who's keen and taking it to framebuilder next week to get their opinion on whether it's sound / can be cleaned up. If it is but mate decides doesn't want would you be keen for that kind of money?

Interesting, will look into the oxalic acid, could be cheaper way to go than full rechrome (silly money so never really considered). Anyone had any joy printing new decals themselves? HH changed their design in mid 70s so can't find the badge anywhere but reckon could knock up decent version on computer.

Also 22" c-c

Just checked and seat tube is 22" / 56cm (c-c). Also lugs are Cinelli apparently.

Cheers for that, pretty much bang on what someone said on another forum. Def seems worth a sale / renovate then...

Quite possibly is, tbh just going on my dad saying it would have been at least that. Back there tonight so can measure properly

Lugwork (and somewhat distressed chrome..)

More pics

Recently saved my Dad from reluctantly chucking this during shed clear out. It's one of his old track racing frames from the 70s, definitely seen better days cosmetically but frame looks solid and has been stored indoors for last 35+ years and never crashed apparently so wondering if worth renovating for someone.

I know my Dad bought it lightly used in mid-70s from fellow racer, and bit of googling indicates produced in early 70s and one of first 300 handbuilt Reynolds 531 frames from Harry Hall in Manchester, as badge design was changed after that. Also has number 262 stamped on BB which appears to confirm this. Apparently the frames themselves were built by Bob Jackson around this time although can't confirm this for specific frame. Other than that all I know is it has track ends / horizontal dropouts, nice lugwork, is about 21" / 54cm seat tube (will confirm), was fully chromed once upon a time, and was built up to reasonable spec with Campag record hubs (which he's holding on to for now).

Any ideas what this would be worth / anyone keen? I have mate who's vaguely interested and is going to take it to armourtex for their opinion on whether ok for shot blasting / respraying, so guess any valuation / offers based on that being case.

Apologies if in wrong section but seemed most logical.

P.S. Based in north London.
