Spoke to the seller about this one last night.

He thinks its a 93-94.

Might be worth a punt but is a little over priced for me…

I'm after something quality in Max OR and this fits the bill nicely but I have just committed funds to another project

Way overpriced for a tired frame that's obviously been heavily used and received little love in the past few years. £300 max.

Definitely, especially now he's added the image of the dent in the top tube…he never mentioned that last night :|

I am an advocate for home grown frames, but I'm afraid I have to agree.

If it were a complete bike with original parts, that would be a different matter, but a DONKIS with P2 forks, hmmmm, even I think that's a bit rich.

I originally thought it was a good deal if it was for the whole bike but sadly not…

As of yesterday he said he wouldn't go below £600 :?

I thought it was the whole bike too. The I read the listing :facepalm:

I know its British steel and a "Dave Yates" and I think it is something special, but not £695 for the frame and forks, he's being a tad optimistic at £600 for the bike in full given its condition and on top of that £50 postage, I know they don't come up often because I'm always looking! not sure I have the room for another one or the budget and thinking about it, it would be an expensive frame with the costs of the divorce added to it

D.O.N.K.I.S N.O.B.

Classic tube manufacturer mix. Columbus Max and Reynolds 753.

Yates answer to Roberts D.O.G.S B.O.L.O.X

How much does the Roberts equivalent sell for, with say a rust hole in the tube that needs replacing...?
