Sold frame set parts available
I've pulled this old gem out of the loft. Bought It when looking for a 1990 but since built up a 21" frame from scratch as a nice Utility bike, It was so nice to ride, I ended up finding a load of nice NOS Deore II to fit on it and some new wheels as a cherished but usable retro utility.
This is a 19" frame Tange Infinity with wishbone rear and nice classic details and period MF charm, and 1" cromo fork. Unsurprisingly it's a lot like 1989 Orange Clockwork in shape look and features if a little heavier perhaps. Looks to be nice relaxed geometry.
These had Suntour XCE groupo originally with nice thumbshifters. Rims Are Araya on MF branded hubs.
I threw it on eBay quickly as they had a promotion but actually intended to post here first. I know there's a few Fox fans, so here it is.
Here's how my big utility version turned out for reference

It will need a full rebuild of course but is a good start of a winter project. I've not even cleaned it. It should polish up fairly nice.
Rear mech has broken but theres a well used spare I can throw in or a really nice later one I recently bought I've put somewhere. I wasn't going to include the non original chainset either, it needs an original XCE one really.
I'm not desperate to sell, could happily hoard it a bit longer! But if it's something you could use let me know, will be better getting used.
I'm asking £125 on ebay for the bunch of bits pictured would let it go a little less here, or I would sell the frameset only, frame only, or something in between. Let me know if you're interested and look at possibilities.
