This is a really lovely frame and i am so tempted as I had a frame made by Arthur back in 91 almost identical to this.
The fork crown and BB shell are classic Caygill for the time as is the brake bridge and seat tube cluster with the little cinelli ‘C’ insignia. I forget the name of his builder who had come from Bob Jackson but even the drop outs remind of his style of building.

I would really love this frame just don’t have the means at the moment. Good luck with the sale though as i’m sure it makes up a really lovely bike.

My 653 is also from 91 and has a few details very similar to this one. IIRC, Richard Kent was the frame builder there at the time.

I get paid on Friday, this had better be sold before then

Glad it's hopefully found a good home!

That was his name ! Thanks for that. Have you any idea what he is doing now ?

Absolutely none at all
