Re:

I don't recall my Almega dx having that gusset/reinforcement around the head tube/down tube, was it added due to the number of warranty issues they had?

Re:

yeah i reckon so, a Google image search shows other frames with it, so i guess it was added in an effort to fix something!

It's already at £135 and doesn't finish til next monday!! :shock:

A deal was agreed on this lastnight.
Obviously has not got the decency to let someone know they are going to let it run, good job money was not sent :roll:

Looks like a '92 repainted with new decals, not a brand new '91.

Nice though.

I'd agree with that, the reinforcing was added for '92 frames. So a '92 frame in '91 colours.

Much like this one - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... 2#p1983842

But who knows, I'm no expert they may have added the brace in the later stages of the '91 production.

Re:

I thought maybe repainted 92 because of the head tube brace but the drop out looks 91 :?

Not me, bet seller is rubbing his hands together! He was more than happy to take £135 for the frame....
