18" Dyna-Tech Torus STX Titanium frame Circa 1995, all titanium tubes with very neat welds (a lot nicer finished than my On-One Tinbred), V-brake only. Not had much use as I got a full suspension bike not long after buying it, and it has been sitting in my shed for the past 12 years. One thing to be aware of is that a frame saver insert is fitted to the rear drop out, as I cross threaded it while screwing in a rear mech, it doesn't affect its performance.
The vital stats are:-

Seat Post C-T 18"
Seat Post C-C 16.25"
Top Tube C-C 21.5"
Steerer Tube (1 1/8") 4.25"
Bottom Bracket 68mm
Rear Dropout spacing 135mm
Seat Post 28.0mm (although does have an alloy shim fitted, not sure what the actual size is)
Front Mech (Top Pull) 34.9mm
Weight 1620g (approx 3.5lbs)

Dyna-Tech Seatpost 28.0mm x 340mm and seat clamp included.
This would build into a really nice retro build, looking for £270 posted.

Dyna-Tech UGLI rigid forks, these came fitted to the Titanium frame, but were removed after about a week and replaced with suspension forks. They are a strange steel/alloy mix, the drop outs and crown are alloy, and the steerer and blades are steel, and appear to be bonded together. V-brake only, they weigh 900g (approx 2lbs), the axle to crown measurement is approx 395mm, the steerer is 1 1/8" aheadset and measures 175mm. They are a dark metallic blue in colour, and have picked up a few scratches from storage, looking for £40 posted or £30 with the frame.

Located just south of Edinburgh, will combine postage costs, contact Doug on 07761 617553.
 
I'll give you £200 for the frame and forks. dont think its worth much more than that to be honest. That is one of the early Torus frames and tended to crack on the seat stay. later ones had fatter drop outs
