Frame arrived from germany this morning in some of the best packaging I've ever seen - pipe lagging, bubble wrapped and extra cardboard padding.
Its in quite excellent condition with barely a mark on it apart from where the front mech clamps on.
and for the reveal:
Yes! its the long sought after metallic purple (cadbury) bontrager race in large.
This one is slightly odd in that it has top pull front mech routing but two piece stays - so its probably late 94 early 95.
All the important things - brake bosses, chain suck plate etc are in place, it looks like it was built up and then never used.
