Just e:mailed a bloke who had a 19" curtis frame for sale about a month ago (I was interested myself at the time), will let you know if he still has it.

What about the Transition TransAM, Ok Cro-moly, but uber nice and rare. A bit over budget but another truly stunning looking hard hitting frame in some lovely colour schemes!

or....

Orange R8, 853 in disco black - 19", or blue and white in 17" and a penny under budget

I like this a lot but think I'll need a small unfortunately. Do you know when they stopped making the 26" wheel version?

Bikepedia says 2005. I sold a 90s one, another one of my stupid stupid decisions. If that one was a 19" I would be on it. Still want a 29er though, and that is the frame for me.

The Rock Lobster mentioned is a steal as well. Lovely frame.

Thanks very much for all the help and advice. It's happened a bit quicker than I planned but the right frame came along and I grabbed it

Cheers again to those that took the time to reply and PM me.

So what was it then?

I didn't want to jinx it but what the hell. Thanks to Casper (and Suburbanreuben for putting me in touch) a Dekerf Implant will be heading from the Netherlands to Cornwall in the next few days

Cool bike. Not something you see every day, and should handle some abuse!

raidan73 · Apr 10, 2012

Yep, can't wait to get my hands on it. Think the first plan is to start saving for a new paint job to do it justice.

Thats the one with the gusset "to end all gussets" ?? you would even let big daddy, giving giant haystacks a backy!, do a drop on that muva !!!

Nice bike, and enviable choice....

Enjoy,
Kev
