If it helps I can sell the buyer a lovely near-mint glossy black Push seatpost that'll suit it...
Disgraceful self-interest bump
It is a tasty looking thing though - must be as I keep coming back here

so glad i've only got a 29" inside leg, or i'd be getting my ar*e handed too me now by my mum for buying a frame when i'm not allowed anymore till i get atleast 1 more built :?
reduction £260 + £20 p & p
I am attaching a photo showing the worst bits. I would prefer collection rather than post as then you can see exactly what you are buying.
There are several areas where the lacquer has worn away, which isnt a problem on titanium as the surface is oxsidisation resistant
There is one area on the top tube where the original grinding off of the welds has lefts a witness mark. (on photo)
Inside the seat tube has a machined notch (on photo) that used to scratch my seatpost untill i polished it back. This is the reason i am giving the seatpost with the frame.
Finally there seems to be a ball bearing or something similar trapped in the crimped chainstay tube that rattles about if you rock the frame but doesnt make a noise when riding.
The head is a very new crane creek one that still has red grease in it and i dont want to be banging it out of the frame.
i hope this will be of use to you.

Keeping
cleaned it up and decided to keep it,,,
rebuilding as a "hybrid / ride with my wife pootler" using a hardly used Vulcan to get it rolling again till funds allow better parts.
Possibly looking for a swap for the 20" red Carrera frame n fork for an air sprung Tora or similar
thanks for the replys and pms and help with the history of the frame
