In Harrogate with postage an option. Should go high.

Great spot! I briefly owned one of these gorgeous frames but had to sell it on here before ever riding back in 2009 due to a relocation for work & just kept my DeKerf singlespeed. Think this is a size down from my own DeKerf - so too compact. Awesome to see one again.
Some stellar reviews if you look back into old issues of Bike magazine. 1997-8 era

How high do we reckon? Somewhere near £1k?

One of the few "brands" after which I have long lusted!
Beautiful. Should surely do a grand.

Nah. anyone wanting one of these will doubtless be aware of the high probability of chainstay failure, and horrendously expensive repair...
If it had prestige chainstays though...

It‘s a tidy and tasteful choice of fine components - ( except the forks IMO ) - will be interesting to see how this develops,
Am glad not being offered as a frame only deal...am certain this is a size down than the DeKerf I have ridden.
I messaged the seller to check this and seat tube c-c is 16” ( so am out)

Think you have just reminded me why I sold my own version on unridden , and the following year invested in a Moots YBB.
The orignal steel version was praised in Bike magazine ‘ this bike kicks ass with big heavy boots on ‘ and also featured in the seminal N.shore issue too. ?1996/7 brilliant articles / reviews well worth seeking out if not scanned on here.

An exsquisite ride while it lasted though...

Chainstay failure as in the Ti snapped or came unstuck?
