Im seriously thinking about spitting up and selling my Swallow ptarmigan. 
I would be looking at selling the frame, fork, headset, post and 2 XT u-brakes (plus full working spare) as a package.
However, im not exactly sure how much its now worth...?
Its 531 tubing, fillet brazed, obvs hand built by peter and rob at Swallow, whilst they were in essex in 86. They are pretty much the rolls Royce of frame builders these days...see swallows website.
In excellent condition, ridden probably 100 miles since new powder, in white with a frost sparkle.
Comes with additional decals too.
Im thinking between £395 and £545, ( given theres £100 of u brakes to start with)...
What's your thoughts.
Or is it now a stick it up and see job!
Not desperate to sell, just im not really using it and part of my purge is trying to limit such fripperies.
