Dunno, but it's nothing like any Klein.

I think the paintjob and the minimalist decals make it look Kleinesque at a glance, obviously upon closer inspection it's nothing like a Klein, it has some interesting parts though and might be a half decent bike under what I assume was a promotional makeover for Heffs.co.uk, bizarrely a wedding photographer.

Heff's was a bike shop in West Drayton, I guess it's long gone. BITD I got a no name ali e-stay frame from them although they also did traditional diamond frames as well, which I suspect this is one of them. Mate of mine raced for them.

Nice, so that's most likely an ex race bike, probably more than half decent then.

Every slightly battered eBay bike is a ‘ex race bike’

It could be. My mates bike was just raw ali but that was around 91'ish and the components on that one are obviously later so maybe they started paintinb them. Then again it could be something entirely different.

Heffs used to be on the corner of the parade of shops opposite the train bridge in West Drayton.

They used to have a lot of non descript frames for reasonable prices and a race team.

I remember that they had a oversized alu bike called the Fat SL*G.

My mate loved the shop and was always in there.
