Heres a rather handsome 93 intense spider frame in large which you may have spotted in one or two other posts of mine, I essentially bought this as a parts mule for a few of the bits hanging off it, namely a nice pair of grafton levers which turned up cracked :evil: :evil: :evil: I have been fighting a battle with myself what to do with it as it does not really fit with my normal tastes but it is a nice example of the early days of bouncy bikes and would probably be a great item to pack away and re discover in years to come........but in the real world ive just bought something pink blue and purple that is more to my tastes so what the hell, it may as well go back into the pot.
I cant begin to imagine what this should go up for as it is as rare as chicken lips and harder still to find info on.
Heres a link to some pics of it in another thread.

PRICE DROPPED........ £115.......And again to £99.........And again to £90 (to hopefully help pay for the little lathe I just bought)
EDIT.... I was half asleep when i popped this add up so sorry about its vagueness, heres a few relevant details.
Seat tube is 18.5" (47cm), the top tube is 570mm (just shy of 22.5"), headtube is 108mm, the b/b shell is 68mm, front mech is a 34.9 top pull, seat clamp is 34.9mm. Seatpost is 31.8.
Theres the usual scrapes and marks that you might expect on such a machine, namely a few dark marks where frame protectors have been used and have preserved little bits of its originally darker finish. theres a little nick on the top tube which I suspect is where a brake lever or shifter has hit it at some point and theres some light pitting in the chrome on the shock shaft (ive just been looking on the risse website, it claims they can still supply spares for all their historic shocks).The black bits inside the recesses in the dropouts are a bit of paint which will clean out easily, I will do this if I can grab a quiet half hour. None of these detract from the bikes performance but are worth noting (they may irk a perfectionist a bit). I can send close up pics of the bike if anybody wants a better look
The frame does not have a cable hanger for a rear cantilever so requires a crosstop canti or a v brake. I do have a Pauls crosstop in silver with ritchey pads which I could let go with the frame for an extra £45.
Please let me know if you need any more info.
Price includes postage within mainland UK (highlands and islands will be a chunk more im afraid)
Thanks
