Just testing the water here, been thinking about selling this, at this point not bothered if it goes of stays.
Will sell as whole bike or split.
Vital stats are, frame size 18" centre to top, seattube 16" centre to centre, top tube 22.5" centre to centre.
Frame is dated November 93.
It has three main issues,
It has had a repair on the chainstays behind the bottom bracket, this has consisted of a weld and a plate top and bottom (i think the damage was caused by chain suck/jamb), repair is sound and looks like it was done a while ago so if it was going to cause any problems would have done before now, repair has covered the lovely CNC machining on the stays though.
There are a couple of tiny hair cracks on the rear fork crown on two of the thin webs (highlighted by the red tape as they wouldn't show in the pics), fork crown is still strong though and these shouldn't cause any problem.
There is three dents on the top tube, one on the top and two on the left hand side, the ones on the side are not imidiately obvious due to the stickers though.
Thats it really, frame is very sound and useable as it is, no evedence of cracks on the headtube or bottom bracket shell.
Bike spec is as follows.
