Cool.

Round track blades? That'll make the front end feel stiff.

I don't know... the classic Team Raleigh colors would've worked for me...

Due to their chosen mode of distribution I believe this brand is done. Amazon

You will be hard pressed to actually see one, only weak IBDs will touch the brand

I guess I just wonder how this is really different from the vintage 531 that is already in the market. It just seems like they are following other brands including Ciocc and Holdsworth that have rolled out high end neoclassics.

Does anyone own one of these and ride it who would comment: a throwback machine? I've got plenty of steel, but I'm wondering specifically about these homage frames. :confused:

I'm sure it rides well. Wonder where they are made - my guess Taiwan, which should not really stop anyone from buying one if they like it!

'Little' more expensive
