No joy from my spares box, turned out to be a 30.9 I'd cut down to 350mm.

Re: Re:
The original paint finish wasn't the best even when new with minor disclolouration. It was also prone to cranking and flaking at the head tube / headset cup interface and any contact points with bolts / QRs exposing the frame to the elements. The over lacquer has deteriorated over...
