Shame this one isnt a 20". Most I guess would love to have an original paint. But original paint gives you that "do i restore" dillema. At least decision has already been made for you with this white paint. Would personally love to do a hommage to an original, but in brand new colours.

What is the chat about the hot 853 and later explosif 853, ignoring custom paints.. Just frame builder quality?

It's my obsession with the 1997 range taking over :LOL: Apologies to the original thread content / message.

I think the 853 Hots had 853 stays as well as main tubes, I'm not 100% sure on that, but I think I remember reading it on here in a post by Anthony I believe.
 
Re:

My '98 Hot had an 853 bi ovalised down tube, It was lighter than my '98 Explosif by nearly half a pound so seemingly a much lighter 853 tube set. The down tube felt as thin as eggshell.

How much does your bare frame weigh Doug?
