Nice looking frame classy frame with fastback stays, does it have attachments for a rear rack? The brakes seem nutted but I would have expected the frame to have recessed Allen keys.

Someone on here was looking for a fast tourer a few weeks ago....

Re:

Hi Shaun

Yes your right it does have recessed allen key fittings for the brakes
It does also have braze-on fittings for a rear rack, of which I removed and original Nimrod rack
27.2 seat post
Frame size is C-T Seat tube 58cm. C-C Top tube 55cm

Think I will have to sell them to clear some space in the shed
I might sell complete or split
