HOW MUCH IS THIS Donohue WORTH?

[Rule5alfie]

Hello, I recently purchased this Donohue frame, and after a conversation with the man in my local bike shop, who told me that he sold his (steel Donohue) for £400 I was wondering what mine is worth? I am not sure on the age but I would guess from the small amount of research that I have done and the frame number (4579100) that it was made around 2000. Unusually the frame has a "fluted" down and top tube, sort of a clover leaf cross section, I have seen Cougar frames with these tube shapes, and know that Paul Donohue made Cougars. I hope you can shed some light on the worth of this frame.

Thanks
Alfie

Not very much... the purists will be horrified by those welds...
