Just realised where I'd seen it before, looks like it cleaned up well.

i asked him the history of the frame and whether he was the original owner or not . .

"Frame was built in the late 70s.it was refinished in the 80s.it had braze on gear bosses and front mech hanger.also top tube concealed cable.it was built up with a new at the time campagnolo victory group.bizarrely it had ROSSIN decals on it.the mind boggles.i bought it a while ago off a local chap with the view to taking it to Bob Jacksons a returning it to TI RALEIGH team red.i've another bike project on the go so have run out of steam a bit with this one.if it sells it sells,if not I'll keep it because its a rare bird.my mate calls it 'the flying condom'"

I think he was trying to swap it for a car at one time - again no takers.

Now it's just getting silly, same bike/frame.

Sale 1 = £275 for whole bike
Sale 2 = £295 for frame only
Sale 3 = £795 for frame only

Don't think the second set of new decals cost £500.

and he's removed the headset, that's in a separate sale.

methinks that he's been blinded by overhyped information about that old flying condom of his!!
