Vintage Geoff Wiles bike

Gustilik

Retro Newbie
Hello!
I am searching for a little help identifing a vintage Geoff Wiles bike i intend to buy. As i can tell it is a pre 90' s bike considering the shimano 105 line.
Searching online, i found only Geoff Wiles bike built with reynolds or columbus tubing.
As i see no decal on this bike about the tubing used, i presume that either was used ordinary tubing, or the bike was repainted at some point, considering the decal " sprayed bu 4pi".
Do you have any information about this bike and especially about the tubing used?

Thank you! Screenshot_20240904_153807.jpg Screenshot_20240904_153757.jpg Screenshot_20240904_153748.jpg Screenshot_20240904_153737.jpg Screenshot_20240904_153725.jpg Screenshot_20240904_153713.jpg
 
Quite a few bike shops used to buy frames from builders and badge them
My Dave Yates was badged a Geoff Something-or-other and I only got the bottom of it by looking for a serial number stamped on it - often something that’s hard to do until you’ve bought it
It does look like a good quality thing, with that seat-post cluster and the fork crown
If it’s not particularly expensive and it’s your size I’d likely take a punt on it, quite likely it’ll be made with a flavour of Reynolds 531
And mods might want to move the OP’s post to the right section :)

you can see the fork crown?
 
thank you guys for your answers. although there are no decals, the frame looks to be of good quality. I am not aware who Andy Palmer is.
