531c retro TT bike from 80s

Devout Dirtbag
Got this bike long,long time ago before I got into mtbs cannot remember the frame builder .
I had it resprayed years ago and did not take any pics of it in original condition.I do remember it was pinkish colour and 531c throughout.
Had a transfer "hand made by Peter Ritchey??" or something similar .
Bought from local bike shop owner (and time trialist) and been sat in shed now for some years now unused.
It would make an interesting refurb project but I do not have the time.
Was going to put on ebay but not sure of its worth??

apart from the spoking pattern on the wheels, there's nothing to suggest that this is a purpose built TT bike. Looking at the styling and clearances, I'd put the frame into the RR category.
nice all the same tho'
I'm half recalling the superbe name on the seat cluster as being from a nottingham builder, but its along time since I raced. poss a sid standard frame?? hope i'm not throwing you off scent, but your derbys location, if you bought it locally, could make this plausible
 
Sid Standard Superbe

Sorry - bit late and I hope not too late - yes it is a Sid Standard frame hand built by Pete Riches.
