Price drop - down to 105 GBP (posted to UK/most of EU). Not too bad.

is the seatpost free?

as in not stuck...

No, not stuck. Just included. Thought it was easier than having to search for one the right size. But you can have it without.

Anyone? No one?

On request.

Used to have one of these sets, lovely frame
good price

Thanks. I think so too but it seems we're in the minority.

Dropping to an even 100 GBP ... for frame, fork, headset, seat post, BB. Come on!

Where are you based? Any chance of a look before buying?

I'm in NL Are you passing through the Amsterdam area this weekend by any chance?

According to sheldon brown, it's comparable to slx tubing...

"The material [022] is virtually identical to Columbus SP/SL/SLX. The top range of tubes were seamless double-butted and the finish quality [as delivered to the builder] was much higher than Columbus. The tubing gauge of the 022 is 0.9/0.6 mm, exactly the same as Columbus SP. It's called "022" because the frame tube set weighs 2.2 kilos. The same material drawn thinner to 0.8/0.5 mm is called "019" because it weighs 1.9 kilos, just like Columbus SL. Many builders, then and now, mix gauges so a small frame might be all 019 but a 56 would have 022 chainstays and downtube for example."
