I need to have a proper look at the frame number….its the absolute image of your frame, have you moved this on recently?
Just I picked this up about a month ago.
Some deep corrosion on the seat stay/ seat tube join, and a couple of dings under the down tube on mine.
Very nice colour and frame, the paint is blue over a silver base, which like powder coat , rust creeps beneath …
I intend to rebuild with STX RC when I get chance.
Thanks for the images and info.

It has forks!
The forks are now getting hens-toothy.
frame and forks = light, tough, svelte ride.
Lovely.

My frame number begins A51100…I mistook the A for a 4, obscured by a bit of flaky paint ….and crap eyesight.

 

[2manyoranges]

A - manufacturer
5 = 1995
11 = November

then the number of the frame within the batch produced that year

Thanks 2manyoranges, much appreciated.
Quite a lot different to the Clockwork frames, seems to be a much lighter guage tubing.
I’m looking forward to building it…but something has to move first, and that’s the difficult bit…
I’m lucky to have got the original forks, I’ve had them before in polished alloy, they certainly don’t have the spring of steel.
