Description: Ultra Rare Ron Kitching Prestige One - Reynolds 531 Vintage 70s Frameset - 63cm. Stickered as a Prestige One, but looks more like the Cyclassic from the original ad. Essentially a barn find. I don’t think these come around very often, and there are only a few examples that I could find online. Structurally solid. Straight dropouts, solid fork, good threads. Cosmetically fair. Some rust and some hand paint on top tube. Please see all pictures. Includes Ron Kit seatpost binder (try finding another one of those!). Restore it, build and ride it, or hang it as is and have something that no one else does! A must have to round out your British collection of Raleigh, Falcon, Claud Butler, Carlton, Coventry Eagle, Dawes, Holdsworth, Harry Quinn, Viking, Mercian, and Condor. A top level road racer himself, Ron Kitching founded and managed one of the largest and most successful bicycle & parts importer in the UK for over 30 years. The exclusive original importer of Milremo, Zeus, Suntour, TA, Cinelli, Super Champion, Ishiwata, and much more. Kitching promoted his own bicycle frames and kits of components to equip them. While not a builder himself, Ron Kitching frames were made at different times by some of the top British craftsmen, including Arthur Metcalf and Wes Mason.
