So, after purchasing this last year from Gravy Monster I got as far as pressing a headset in and loosely putting a fork on. I am starting to get a bit bogged down with unfinished frames and projects so in order to make some room and money this needs to go.

And GM's excellent description (which I hope he does not mind me using):
"... 1992 and size 17 frame number is 1792w175 The frame is Tange Prestige & has a 1" headtube, Also has a mech inverter on the seatube
The Frame is in overall very good condition, The paintwork is lovley and shiney. Has a few chansuck marks , decals are in good shape but..... There is 1 area that needs to be conisdered, There are some small rust dots on the seat tube that visually dont look that bad, But under guidance from Chris there are 3 little pin holes within 3 of the dots, A torch shone down the tube brought this to my attention, the 3 dots and pin holes line up which is strange and could be a manufacturing defect ?. I have had a good look and to me looks and also sounds (when tapped with an allen key gently) solid and rings nicely not like an infected rusty area would , This area is in the last picture below"
I will add: 26.8 seat post required.
Further: I have had this checked over by a couple of people with some frame building experience and the consensus was that it is rideable, however its probably not going to stand up to too much abuse - the seat tube in general is not in a bad state (aside from the pin holes).
I will stick some of my own pics up in a bit but there are some of GM's originals on his thread.
Looking to get back what I paid or as near as so £140 posted, not including headset and fork)
