Re: Re:

I would say he got it around 92-94

It was 753 for the rear stays, Lloyd using 653

There are a few around these parts, and the odd special example coming soon im sure....

If it does its the nobs for sure, that top tube is Max, and I just hope its not rotten and can be saved, or it might be a pricey one to save if doing it properly.

Re:

It's not good but I didn't see it in very good light!

Genuinely keeping my fingers crossed for you, those that have ridden these rarely part with them.

Re:

Its not looking good for the top tube in the cold light of day. Quite a lot of rust not sure how deep its penetrated but the tube is also dented on the underside towards the front half of the bike.

I have taken a few quick pics now I've just got to work out how to get them on here!

Re:

Okay someone on here suggested this a while ago shake the frame and see if you can hear any rust inside, then gently tap the tube and shake again to hear if it sounds worse
