Hi,

The hole seen in the original ad above has been now mended
(will post picture of the repair later) and the frame just needs
a respray.Beautiful thinned lugs, wrapower seatstays,
126 spaced campagnolo track dropouts with added derailleur hanger.

english threaded bb,
reynolds 531 DB tubing,
drilled for both brakes.

Cockpit: 3ttt Pro chrome 11cm to soma highway 1,
tektro ergo levers and Fizik soft touch bartape with Nitto barends.

with sapim race spokes, virtually new gatorskin, recently serviced and trued.

I'm asking 450GBP for the full build, not splitting. Postage should be another 25GBP to UK.
Feel free to PM me with any questions, I'll update the thread with detailed pictures tomorrow.

nais biek. was in the queue for the frame..

where are you heading to in germany?

More pictures please.

i'm in for it - PM?

let me know if this sells, I'm very interested if it stays around for a week or two till payday.

Where do you live?

Thanks all, it really is a lovely ride. Rodolfo, I will most likely go to Hannover, but have yet to receive answers from other universities across the country. As for pictures, the frame is currently mediablasted, so this album of what I found on my computer will have to do for the moment, link below.
The repair in question was done by a
Jeweller friend. I wanted him to repair using brass brazing, but he
insisted on spot welding it. So he welded the compromised area and
filed it. It will need a little primer before painting to achieve
uniform smoothness but besides that the repair is rock solid.

Lukemdfree, I will get in touch in case the currently interested parties decide to pass it up.
