Am I asking to much ? Feed back would be helpful

Thank you

It is a very nice frame i would pay £300 for it but its just too small!

Thank you for your feed back , what size you looking for should I hear of any

It's beautiful but I think you're asking too much, to be honest.
More around the £200 mark I reckon. Even then though, this might be the wrong place for it.

I'd happily pay £300 for that if I needed a frame. It's 853 after all, you couldn't get something built for less than double.
It's lovely.

Fair enough, basing it on what I've bought and sold 853 for recently but it's whatever someone will pay, ultimately.

Thanks for you feed back perhaps eBay would be a better place cheers

I wouldnt mind seeing some more pictures.

quite tempted by this....

Thank you for you feed back it has realy been helpful in gaining perspective Ill stick with the price

Moring poo face , will send some Photos over the weekend if not today

Trying to get out the nursery!

sorry

Looks nice to me and agree that price seems fair for fresh restoration 853 but it's too small for me. Needs better pictures though.

looks nice but the joins / welds especially around the head tube look very clumsy? have you got better pics to see other joins / lug work?
