Thats got to be an RB'er selling, they look like Gil's decals. Looks to have made a good job of restoring it too.

He's local to me, and spends a lot of time buying and selling retro stuff,

like you say Mark, definitely been refurbed, but quite a good job of it...

does the gusseting under the down tube stop the cracking on the al mega or just delay it ?

It's supposed to prevent it, and came into force on 1992 frames.

I've had a **ahem** few Alu Alpinestars And none of them have cracked on me, and I'm far from a lighweight...

I did a 'rodeo' ride on one of them, threw me clean out the saddle and back down HARD a good few times in the space of a few seconds. Knackered the satclamp but that was all... :shock:
