Fair chunk of cash that, but looks tidy. Hope some here bagged so we can see more pictures

Not really, not when you consider that the frame would have cost £995, in 1994 (prices from DL's price list).xxnick1975":24piajzc said:
I think that was a more than fair price, and was very seriously considering a second bid at £350, but as I already have a CATS, I thought it would just have been greedy.

My comment wasn't meant to suggest its not good value.
Just for me, £300 is a fair amount of dosh, so would need to be reasonably sure of condition, size etc, rather than a 'punt'
Anyway, it's look a very handsome frame so I'm sure it will build into a cracking bike

I understood where you were coming from and it's a fair comment, but a frame as good (and as rare) as this really should fetch a sensible amount, it just doesn't often happen.
That said, the fact that I just spent a small fortune having a similar frame repaired and repainted may have some bearing on my opinion. :mrgreen:
Thought I made a huge mistake 'outing' it as it seemed to kick off the usual hype that seemed bound to push it past its value. However, Im happy with the price! (I bid a lot more). I thought the top tube would be a bit long but it is the same size as Wadsy's old Beez Neez (below) and I have the same Tioga stem so can achieve the same set up, size wise which looks fine to me, if its not then I can sell it on but it is surely worth trying!

FWIW, I suspect if we are looking at the same DL price list, that has been incorrectly marked 94, it really reinforces your point on the Fabricators original RRP. If we are indeed looking at the same price list then given its Older it truly presents very good value for money, especially given the condition.

If hand written on the top August 94, its been done by someone after the fact certainly.
This might well be where a lot of confusion has stemmed from online ref recent posts and Pm questions to be fair.
I have the same thing, it was released in late 90 for the 91 model year, and also coincides with the spec choices shown in the brochure, time line wise.
Its an innocent mistake to make, given its written by hand on the top, few would think to look closer.
Such a lovely frame for the money.
