ARGOS ROAD FRAME Reynolds 853 1998

Argos Cycles are one of the top framebuilders in the UK and this frame beautifully fillet brazed from Reynolds 853 tubing and their own stainless steel dropouts shows off their skill. Many would want to have it refinished – there are quite a number of marks to the paint. It comes complete with a carbon-fibre fork and 1in threadless headset. £195
Quite tempted by this. Looks a little rough and have asked Hilary about the spot under the 'S' on the top tube but yet to hear back.
Any views on this? Obviously great tubing and decent frame builders.
