I doubt it, it has the top tube Magura mounts and even a crusty Tioga Trail Dawg.

I'll measure it properly tomorrow.

Heres dcarlos' little one, you can just see the black cable guides on the top tube

Heres one the same size

Re: Re:

See its there, bottom right frame sizes 16" 18" 20" .
So either somebody has done a Photoshop of the catalogue or its Fake.

Then again it could be a Prototype built to gauge the interest from the larger gentleman cyclists of the day.

It'll be a fake so come on then let's see it ..

Re:

Perhaps the catalogue measurements are centre to centre? Might explain the extra inch :?:

Anyways, I'll look forward to more pics as well - not seen one of these on here for aaaaages!

Ok then sssssmart arses - the Antibody has unique drop-outs not featured on any of the other 531/501 frames

Explain that then? The Aunt Bessies Yorkshire puddings is most definitely not a Tesco own brand fakery.

If I get home early enough , I'll get the Antimicrobial from the shed and take some pictures.

Just be prepared for some of the worst fading know to man.

FYI even Aunt Bessie is a Fake as she is a fictional character & home made Yorkshire puddings are betterer .

Quit moaning otherwise you'll be on the list too.

Here you go, structurally sound but with more fade than Johnny Fade and the Fadettes with their greatest hit 'I was Neon now I'm Peach'
