1992 DAVE YATES DIABOLO 18"*SOLD PP*

[Antstark]

Which ever way I look at this it just isn't going to fit me .....so up for sale is a great bit of fillet brazed British Steel

1992 (I believe) Dave Yates Diabolo in Columbus CROMOR OR tubing and colour coded Project Twos, as was standard equipment.
Lovely metallic green which I hope you can see really shines in the sunlight

Condition

Overall it is very smart having obviously been cared for in its life.
There are no dings, cracks or dents and no obvious rust areas other than where the paint has chipped or been rubbed.
It does have numerous chips and scars consistent with being over 20 years old i.e chain suck and slap marks etc.
Would build into a great rider or would be perfect to refinish with new paint.

Frame Size

Seat tube C-C 16.5"
Seat tube C-T 18"
Top Tube 22.5"
Seatpost size 26.8mm

Included in the price is:-

a) 1" STX Roller Headset in really excellent condition.
b) HG51 Bottom Bracket running nice and smooth. I have just removed the BB to check a) It does actually come out and b) To ensure there are no nasties in the frame....happy to report all is good. I will clean the threads and reinstall with copper slip prior to shipping.
c) Tracked Delivery in the UK

Its not a DONKIs......but then its not got the DONKIs price tag

£150 (paypal gift or add 5% fees) *SOLD PENDING PAYMENT* - £135 collected

That's a great frame at a great price, I'd buy it right now this very second as it would fit me like a glove but......... I "already got one you see, it'sa veery nice".

Anyone thinking about this frame, stop with the thinking and get on with the buying.... type bump.
