I'm testing the water with this as I'm of two minds whether to sell it or not.
My head says yes, but my heart says no!

Independent Fabrication SS Deluxe - yes it's a 1998, but v-brake only and identical to 95/96/97 frames. So still 'retro' to my mind ;-)

Serial number 212D817C = 212th Deluxe frame, 1998, 17", Custom geometry.
17" CTC/18" CTT seat-tube, 22.5" CTC Top-tube. Track ends of course.
Reynolds 853 tubing and in excellent condition. No dents, and only a few minor marks/scratches.
Very nice, original custom flame paint job (apparently the original owner asked them for something cool!)

I'm 6ft and it fits me spot on as set up in the pics.

The Hope wheels are mid 90s, and are a pretty rare Hope Ti-glide single speed specific rear and Hope Ti front with Mavic 517 or 717 rims (can't remember which). They can come with some either the IRC rust-wall tyres pictured or some Charge skin-wall tyres.

After £450 for frame and wheel set, or £375 for the frame alone (+ insured postage at cost).
Happy for collection from near Exeter or Taunton (where I work).

Pics of it when built up and some separate pics of the wheels...

Hell yeah! But I have to resist! My head/heart has the same problem as yours...
Up for a swap?

And whats the TT length please?
 
TT is 22.5" CTC.
ST is 17" CTC, and 18" CTT.

No swaps unfortunately, I've just bought a new bike and the wife is hinting at a one in one out policy.
 
Apperantly our wifes share the same attitude as well. Thanks for the meassurments...

I just bought this one back:



:facepalm:
 
Re:

Very nice package there...

As an aside do you still have those USE Atom bars and are they for sale? I might be interested :)
