mattyc-
Not quite yet, stripped most of it down without any drama (other than about a decade's worth of turbo crust, bleuurrggrhh) but I don't have a long enough allen key to reach the quill bolt or the tools to remove the BB so it's in the shop to have the bb/stem/headset removed, then we'll see what we're up against! They've worked wonders a few times for me so hopefully it'll be straightforward enough - if anything's going to give problems on an old frame it's rusty quill stems & bbs though.
Was some nice bits on it too, well used but serviceable DA 7402, apart from one of the dt shifters, one of the parts had cracked but might be replaceable - could turn into a saga... the frame itself is 56 square so too big for me but would still be nice to refurb it as a project.
What's that you've picked up - pics!

This just landed in my office - no decals on frame or any markings on forks but has the "R" stamped brake bridge & BB number looks quite similar to others i've seen here. Fair bit of surface rust (apparently lived on a turbo for a while...) so i'll strip it down & clean it up then see what the inside of the tubes look like before deciding what to do with it
