Hi Alan

I have got a Bates BAR which has cantiflex tubes with diadrant forks, the seat tube is 22.75" from centre to top and the top tube is 22.75" from centre to centre it comes with headset and the original mudguard bolts. I am looking for £325 for it and I include a set of Bluemels mudguards as well.

Let me if you want any more pictures or information.

Kindest regards

Rob

could you please tell me about the fork shape,
what is the science. the idea behind the off set ?

The forks where probably just a marketing gimmick

The Cantiflex tubing on the other hand is just amazing, mine is the best period lightweight I have ridden and I wouldn't part with it.
