EDITED WITH PRICE DROP: NOW £50 if collected from Norwich - Otherwise it will go to the local cycle support charity.
This is a really nice frame in original paint from Australia. Made by a renowned bike shop it seems. Not associated with the bike computer company.
It looks way worse in the pictures below - it's actually very smart and presentable after I cleaned it! See picture in the second post below.
Headset is ok. All threads are good. No dents or cracks or rust issues. Solid and straight frame
ST: 595 CTC
TT: 570mm
HT 190mm
£130 > £120 > £100 - With £30 > now £50 donation to the red cross included - receipt will be sent to buyer.

Located in Norwich, but can be collected from Harlow, Essex. Or possibly East London if very near the A12
I started a build thread but I ran out of momentum and just got a Dave Yates that fits slightly better.

'Avocet' frame was made in Australia, not something we see very often in the UK I don't think! - Claremont (a suburb of Perth, Western Australia) shop owned/operated by John Sampson. One person told me that a guy called Stan Lang may have built for the shop, but no proof. I got it from a guy who was an amateur racer in the 80's. He got it from a friend and did a couple of TT's on it and told me some stories. He said it was Columbus tubing, but Avocet also used Ishiwata 019 and reynolds 753... so this could be anything I suppose.
