Still available. This frame really is sold as seen - Sammy, it appears pulled to me, and for a crack to appear 360degrees around the frame is extremely odd - of course I can post up a million picture clarifying this.
Tenderloin you have first dibs I believe.
Can I provide any more info regarding this frame? -

Ok...now the catch. It is reduced because I have crashed it - there are scratches to the seat stays though these are only to the surface, and I highly doubt damage the structural integrety as the crash wasn't a bad one. The bit I am concerned about is the fact that one of the chainstays has "pulled" out of the frame slightly. I could have got this repaired, but was also offered a VERY nice full carbon frame at a dirt cheap price, so took this option :D. Anyway, I have asked around and this has happened to a few people with carbon seat stays, some of whom have had this repair. Apparently it is a relatively cheap repair that costs around £40, so even if this repair does cost as much as £40 then this is still a superb frame for only £60 in total!
I would really hate more this to be misinterpreted.
When I said the structural integrety is ok, I mean I believed that the carbon would be ok, that it would hold up. The fact that the seat stay is pulled out a little would by logic, make the frame more A-symmetrical and this cannot be good. I doubt I would race/ride long distances on this frame as it is without it being repaired. Also £40 is not a 100% quote, it is just what I know it cost somebody else to get this same repair done.
I have been brutally honest here - sounds like I don't want to sell the thing! But time to be more positive: IT IS RED!...and has carbon bits!...and is cheap!...and is red!..oh said that one.. -

definately starting to regret this low price now :D
Ah well, at least I am turning something which is of little use to me into useful cash. -

Potential dibs. Any idea on cost of P&P to Newcastle?

If I had space I'd buy it for wall art. Carbon coat hangers FTW.
