Selling this frame as I have inherited it from my Grandfather but is far too small for me. Hopefully someone out there will have more use for it than I will.

For a 30+ year old frame the anodizing on the three main frame tubes is in very good condition with only very minor imperfections, and the same goes for the fork blades, seat and chain stays. The polished aluminium lugs and seatstay bridge are in excellent condition with all bonds intact. The frame is very lightweight and is renowned for it's combination of racy geometry with forgiving ride quality.
Cable guide underneath bottom bracket is original to frame.
Decals are newly added but are exact matches to originals on frame.
Seatpost moves freely. Headset quite smooth, a re-grease would improve it. BB threads sound.

Looking for £200 but open to offers. Based in South Manchester or London, whichever more convenient.
