Time to face the fact that I've got too many bikes that are the right size, let alone this one that, no matter how much I look at it, won't grow to be the right size and is too small!
Anyway - Sid Mottram 531c frame in a gorgeous gold finish. Story goes that it hung in Sid's shop, lusted after by the chap who eventually bought it. As it was too big for him, it ended up in the loft!
Size is 59 c-t, 58 c-c top tube.
I'm guessing it's a Mercian-built bike, but I've not investigated frame numbers or anything. Campag dropouts by the way.
In good condition - few chips and scuffs but nothing major.
Most of the groupset is Gipiemme (Crono Sprint I think) - Really nice kit.
(Cranks, brakes, levers, mechs, hubs and QRs are all Gipiemme)
Simplex shifters, Mavic rims (rear could do with a true) Vittoria tyres. 5 speed block.
Shimano headset - slight notching.
SR stem, ITM bars.
Only bits that I've added are an SR post (slightly scruffy) and a lovely Cinelli Volare SLX saddle, the colour detailing of which matches the frame. Needs a post bolt/clamp.
Given the fact it's pretty much original, and the frame itself is such a nice example, I'm looking for £375, collected from Notts. Can discuss courier though if required.
Couple of pics on my flickr account: If you like what you see I can take more on request.
