I came across this today, it's a tallish fillet brazed 26er in Columbus tubing, the fork is the non unicrown brazed type, almost like a biplane fork with reinforcement as part of the casting. It's going to be a reasonable price too. There's an 87 on the frame stamp on the BB. No name, just...

Just realised this one is 531 in fork and frame too

I think they enhanced the 90s head down geo really well, offered 2 or 3 more hand positions and formed a useful hook for shopping bags. Not everyone wanted racks and panniers in the 90s! On my touring commuter Thorn the position is upright for me, I've added bar ends that slot inside the bars...

Still available!

For the record I'm 5.11 when being optimistic, and had the saddle half way up but it felt nice to me. I guess the BB is hiked right up so they'res that to consider. The new owner was a bit shorter than me but seemed happy!
