**SOLD To luckyskull for £170 sans forks.

Righty-oh. Painful sale this, but this is just not going to get used in Yorkshire. Well ridden on London roads for 6 months, an amazing commuter/pub bike/track bike/whatever you want.
Good heritage, ex-pro, beautiful patina.
It's got some surface rust but has been protected by heli tape on the top tube, the rest seems to be chromed (rear triangle certainly is) so I never got it repainted. It's a lovely aquamarine with original (presumably custom) decals like the one on the rear of the headtube.
I believe it's made from Aelle, and the forks are non-original but were sold to me as SLX. All works together well and price includes a Tange headset (smooth) and a Campag BB (not so smooth, but hadn't noticed until I'd taken the cranks off so not too bad).
55 seat tube, centre-to-centre and 54.5 top tube. I'm 6ft and a bit of a T-Rex and with risers and 90mm stem this was perfect.
Lots more pictures here http://imgur.com/a/jr6oj#3CywE3x Notice the lack of serial and '55' stamp at the top of the seat tube. This was built for a rider, not a generic model, hence the ungoogleable nature of it (believe me, I've tried).
This really is a beautiful bike, but isn't sensible for me right now so needs to go to make way for more 'practical' things.
Postage or pickup from Leeds/Otley
