Price? Also remind me of the geometry :-)

It's a Ridley Oval 907C frame, for which I paid £259 from Chainreaction on the 4th of July.
I had it repainted by Armourtex, chased/faced etc, bought it a headset and sold the track fork it came with- so the frame probably owes me around £300 when everything is taken into consideration.
So- does £200 sound reasonable?
Here's what it looked like when it arrived:
This is the 58cm frame (I'll measure the headtube and confirm that when I've finished this post):

It's the 58.

Just notice the geometry, it's very T-rex friendly (54cm TT have a whopping 160mm headtube).
-
• #831
Are you selling it with, or without the fork?
-
• #832
Without.
-
• #833
I'd have been interested but too big.

Have you considered a deep-drop stem like a Deda Newton Pista? It would be very slave.
-

Those bars arent going to get much lower without a silly looking stem.

I'd put my money on something steel, with nemesis rims and 7710 hubs

Very good- next bike will be a (modern interpretation of a) Path Racer, in steel.

531 for 531?

All a bit tentative at the moment, but I am thinking:
- Swaged seat tube
- Swaged downtube
- 1 and 1/8th headtube (ahead)
- Modest top tube
- Wishbone rear stay, pencil seat stays
- Beefy as all-get-out chainstays
- Fillet brazed
- 853
- Swaged seat tube

Got to be MAX chainstays...
Are you getting it built for guards in true path style?
If not, it sounds like my dream frame...
What about bilam 44mm/1/18th headtube for bling bling?

It'll have 'guard mounts, and water bottle mounts.
It may even have a single mount on the wishbone for a Tubus Fly rack.
All the mounts apart from the bottle mounts are likely to be hidden in some way.
Going to use a standard headtube for simplicity.
I'd like to use my 3T Funda Team fork- but it doesn't have 'guard mounts.

Get some bonded on? It'll be needing a paint anyway...
This frame is for sale.
