I bought this Reynolds 531C frame brand new from SJS Cycles' eBay store. Originally, I fitted it with Shimano down tube gear levers, but later, I replaced them with Campagnolo Ergos, in a configuration widely known as Shimergo. This article by the CTC's Chris Juden explains it all. And I describe how I did it here.
Campagnolo Veloce 10 levers. These fit the hands really well. A friend of mine has a bike that is all Veloce 10 and he says that this Shimergo bike shifts just as well if not better his all Campag groupset.
Side view. I love the ride of 531C steel. It has a kind of springy, live feel. Steel is real!
Rigida flyer rims, allow hubs.
Closely spaced teeth numbers on the rear block.
I love the blue and red contrast! Personal taste, I guess.
Campag Veloce levers fit the hand really nicely.
Trusty Stronglight Triple and cartridge bottom bracket.
Shimano Tiagra rear mech.
Front brake, Shimano Tiagra dual caliper, in the evening sun...
