I have a bike like that.
James Bleakley (owner, founder, etc) of Black Sheep Bikes would kindly tell you it is one of his frames (as he did with mine)
He overhauled mine with canti bosses and all aditional weldings.
In a week I'll finish restoring it and I'll put some pics.

Chus

Hate to say it but that's not a Black Sheep. Drop-outs say Sandvik, U-brake says early 1990s, straight unbent seat and chainstays say early 1990s, parts mix says early 1990s but Bleakley's only owned black sheep for the past 10 years making his bikes 2000+ (unless of course James just buys up old stock Sandvik frames and rebadges them rather than build his own - which I know he doesn't!)

Is it just me or does it appear to have the worlds longest TT in proportion to the ST? :shock:

Nice looking frame though.
