why on earth they didn't take a full bike picture is anyone's guess? hope it hasn't been crashed :!:
Good components, average condition, decent project, if the frame isn't damaged :?:

That's on my watch list, not sure of the size and no reply to a question.

This frame below has lugs and vertical dropouts, aside from that all I can see on this tablet is that its black. Vertical dropouts = potential TT frame so I bought it

God knows what it is lol

Re:

Interesting purchase & good price to boot Shaun.

Wrapover seatstay arrangement - Carltonesque, pics aren't much better on my laptop to be honest.

Be interesing to see what you've purchased.

Cough * Paul Washington * cough, in my dreams I guess . It has vertical dropouts and in my book that makes it a TT frame lol

Re:

crying out for 1st gen DA - might just require a build thread - then it can be any bike you want it to be

Funny you should mention that. I think I have enough first gen spare .

I'll wait and see what arrives in the post

I bought the SABA as I used to drool over a gold one in Ken Birds window when I was younger, lighter and fitter. Took a total gamble on the size, which turned out to be a 21" so an inch too small for me in an ideal world
fantastic frame spoilt by the amateur braze repair on the bottom bracket cable guides, haven't decided if I'm going to restore it yet, It still has the omas titanium bottom bracket which is a result

Glad I didn't take a punt then............at least 2" too small LOL
