Found this about a week ago on my local classified website. The guy seems to know very little about bikes (couldn't even measure it for me) but the bike seems to be new or as new condition. It's obviously not 22 years old like he said and I really don't know if it's worth the asking price. I'll post some pictures below that were emailed to me. The bike is still available even though the listing is over a week old.

Lovely looking bike, looks unridden!

Looks mostly stock (stem and bars changed, maybe shifter units too), I bought an M-Trax 1500 (cromo) from that old bike shop (Bache Bros?) on Lye Cross circa 1997, it was then a year or two old NOS (so say 1995), that was also STX RC which if I remember correctly was reliable, hard wearing nickel-plated looking stuff - all in all a great bike, if a tad heavy (not a problem with a Ti one I wouldn't think).

This one looks to be a smallish frame, maybe 16-17"? But then again could be that gigantic seat messing with my optics.

Maybe worth a punt if you can go and have a look and it fits intended rider. Hard to put a price on these, worth as much as you are willing to pay, I'd say ;-)

I recently paid about 100 for a 150 comp, also hardly ridden. But that is a minty Ti thing, so maybe 200+ isn't so bad a bargain at all. You'd get a comparative pile of poo from Halfords for that much. WOuld be nice to know if the wheels are stock.

Looks like this one: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=111341 which bears out my 1995 estimate.

I wouldn't mind it myself if I had the cash and it was 18"-19".


EDIT. Oh, it's sold. Bah.
 
Based on wheel size, I calculate (guesstimate) this frame to be about 18.5". Too big for me and I haven't got that sort of cash either. :cry:

Did anyone on here get it?
