If this is the same one, and i think it is. i saw it in the flesh a few years ago, those dents are from it being clamped like it is in the pics, so squashed on the top and the bottom of the top tube.
Nice looking bike, but i walked away...

What gorilla tightens up a bike stand clamp to that degree?! Oh yeah, the same one who over tightens front mech clamps.. :roll: What a shame about the drilling of the rear brake lug too. 
Yeah, a nice sexy black Attitude would suit me I reckon, anyone got one? Same size as this?
Like I need another bike...

That's my old bike! It's done some miles as I sold it to someone in Norway, and now it's made it's way to the states. Dents were quite bad but not so bad that it affected structural integrity (in my opinion). The reason I got rid was that the frame deserves top kit on it. By the time you've put lots of nice (and expensive) gear on it, the aesthetics of the dent ruined the overall effect of what is at the end of the day, a top drawer bike.
So I got rid with a view to getting a mint one, which I could put the parts on to. Unfortunately it hasn't happened and is unlikely to.
