Absolute bargain even for the parts

I would buy it myself but can’t pick it up for 10days

Always enjoy a bit of a hunt around when it comes to mystery things, tmwc.co.uk as per wayback machine seems to pop up around 2003 as a web design company founded by Paul Prince. Seems fella is a pretty avid cyclist, pops up a lot in UK CX champs mid 2000s, couple local news headlines, ran a store in Solihull etc. Thought it may be him selling it but I feel like someone of that caliber would have a better description. Still, shouldn't be too hard to get in contact for frame info etc if needed although given the spec and the guy it presumably belonged to, probably a fair assumption it's a top quality frame too.

Could ask if ten days for collection is cool? (I'd normally just go ahead and buy it..)

You can buy it anyway, then arrange the 10 days time - if he's got the money, it's usually ok.

I'd guess it's a 'Dale.

Got an Argos repaint sticker, so they could identify it.

Foul colour scheme, or is that just me?

 

[highlandsflyer]

It's the lettering I can't stand, though the patriot fade is pretty dismal too.

I'll have a word with them.
They should have refused

I dont think its an off the shelf frame. I dont recognise it.

 

[Tommylurve]

Yep the paint job is shocking, the lettering has peeled off in places, so that would go. Cannondale sounds like a good shout, it does look like a quality frame. I'll ping the guy a message.

The chainstay bridge looks like a bit of an afterthought / messy

Looks like it’s been sprayed by Argos so should be descent!
