As above really - '96 or '97, so full Columbus tubeset (unlike the '95). Cosmetic condition immaterial as it will be getting a caliper mount brazed on and redundant cable stops removed/hydraulic hose guides fitted for yet another singlespeed project.
So no dents, chainsuck damage, ovalised headtube or stuff like that - mechanically sound, in other words. doesn't matter about the mech. hanger either, of course as long as the dropout is good.
I'm also after a Vicious Cycles rigid fork, 438mm axle/crown and disc only version - again I'm not bothered about cosmetics as it will be refinished to match the frame anyway.
So, the intention is that this will be an improved, lighter and better finished version of "Platsa Blue", with the slightly improved tyre clearance of the Columbus stays.
That's the plan, because at my age I need all the help I can get and singlespeeds are the only thing that I seem to be able to ride half decently
