Bit annoyed with myself for not getting it finished, but I’d rather sell it here and hopefully see it finished one day! It is now sold 👍🏻

Having had my cracked Alien frame repaired by the legendary danson67, I have come to the conclusion that I am never going to have the time to complete the project. So I’m offering it for sale along with the original stem, bars, seatpost and fixings. Asking price is £250 posted in the UK, which...

Thank you. If I can’t find a trade, I’ll consider selling 👍🏻

Oooo please could you send me some pics? Many thanks.

Looking for a full set of M734 cantilever brakes in black if anybody has any going spare? I have a very nice full set of black M732 inc. pads to trade if that helps. Many thanks!

I’d have bitten at the full price by now if it wasn’t so very tiny. I suspect that’s what’s putting most off rather than the price.

I’ve sent you a couple of photos via DM 👍🏻

Looking for one of these in very good or NOS condition please if anybody has one? Happy to buy or trade for the same in 34.9mm if that’s helps?

I’ve got an immaculate USE 1st gen suspension post in black if that’s of any interest?

Great looking bike and story 👍🏻 Did you decide to go with the modern decals over the period correct version? Only wondering, as I have a couple of Roberts frames in the queue for renovation and the ones in the old brochures you posted look superb 👍🏻

Great stuff, I did check but thought this was another! 👍

Thank you very much, I hadn’t seen that before 👍🏻. I’m well on with the build, I’ve gone with a Salsa stem, but I couldn’t find a nice enough roller version so we’re on hold at the moment as I can’t find a suitable cable hanger! I bought a new Paul ‘Funky Monkey’ for it, but I really don’t...

Thank you, I’ll send him a message. I have a complete, 1 ride old XT group set that I’m planning to fit, which I think will suit it perfectly.

Thanks, yes that’s the one. Had forgotten I’d commented on that thread! I’m not sure where the Dave Yates connection comes from, I can’t find any reference anywhere to him having made the frames?
