So I bought this off ebay for £900. It's been hardly used, frame has two or three tiny scratches. It's going to be my winter road / audax machine. It's almost too nice for winter duties but it takes full mudguards and a rack, and is extremely comfortable, so perfect really.
It was owned by a lovely guy called Lewis Cooper, who's name is on the top tube. He had it built for himself as a retirement present in 2002. I think he was on a budget as some of the parts are very cheap and heavy and don't do the frame justice. Seatpost for example is a 25.0 unbranded thing with a massive shim. However even built like this, on my short test ride it felt amazing. I think the chainstays are columbus MAX, the rest a mix of other Nivacrom tubing. Incredibly smooth and responsive.
