Walking along Railton Rd on Friday night, on the way to the cinema and what should I see sitting on top of a load of rubbish bags but a frame. On closer inspection it was a black, steel, lugged frame with 'Diplomat' decals and no obvious cracks or dents. The tubes rang true when I flicked them. It had no forks or BB etc, just that frame. Looks to be about my size, but I am not a very good judge...
All the way through the film (Star Trek, pretty damn good) I was hoping that no one else would find it and wondering if I should have taken it into the pics with me. Luckily, on the way home it was still there and soon found itself over my shoulder and then in my cupboard.
Result.
The only decision now is whether to respray it and make nice commuter for a friend of mine who's just moved to London or make a polo bike for me...
I'll post some pics later tonight.
