Unfortunately no proof that this frame was built by Nigel Dean other than the assurance of its previous owner. Mentioned previous owner also saw fit to strip the original paint job and replace it with a very bad rattle can red, so the frame needs a respray. There is also a ding (shown in pics) at the top of the seat stay which hasn't effected the alignment of the stays.
The frame is however very well built with some lovely lugs and very light for its size.

The paint job has seen better days with a number of scratches/chips, most notably on the seat tube where (best guess) heat has been applied to the seat tube to remove a stuck post. The area has been patched up but not professionally.
The fixed cup is still present as my crappy wrench can't grip it, so I haven't been able to give it a proper go.
Otherwise a lovely light frame with no dings and working threads.
