Many of you will have seen the thread from my Ebay listing in the auction watch part of the site.
So...for sale as per the Ebay listing but with a better price!
Here we have a very rare Dave Yates DONKIS NOB frameset for sale. PLEASE NOTE - Just the frame, fork, Mavic 316 h/set and Royce Ti BB are for sale. The majority of the components are the original custom built spec and of the correct era. These will be listed seperately. The paintwork, as mentioned above, is original. Its in excellent condition and in my opinion does NOT need a respray. Infact I think is would be a crying shame to repaint it just to make it 'look new'. Its in extremely presentable condition and doesn't need any further investment.
This really is a classic piece of MTB history. I am the second owner having bought it from its original owner over 8 years ago.
The bike has now moved with me to the Czech Republic.
So thats a little about the history of the bike
The bike is really lovely to ride and benifits from being a nice compact size. It measures C to C 38.5cm and C to T 44cm so in old values its a 17''. The top tube (horizontal measurment) measures 58cm, so 22.8''.
It uses a mixture of Columbus Max OR and Reynolds 753. Also quite rare is the fact it has its original, painted Kona P2 triple butted forks which really complete the overall look of the bike/frame. Included in the sale is the original Mavic 316 headset and titanium axled Royce BB. In my opinion the bike has seen a very easy life and it shows in its condition. I've been riding bikes ALOT for over 20 years and I know a good one when I see one!
I have sent bike parts all over the world and be rest assured the item will be packed with loving care!
Frame number is 7062. This makes it from the bit of researsh I have done a 93-94 frame. Don't quote me on this though.
525GBP plus postage.
Thanks, Jody, rideczech.com
