Re:

Hi, I realise this response may be a bit later than expected.... better late than never.

Anyway, I've decided to sell my 1999 RSP 450, build weight is 10.4 kg.

This frame has seen very little use, and is still in excellent condition, if your interested, it's the 16" size your after!

Only one small problem.... I'm in Australia.

Cheers, Gavan.

Daymmn!!!! That's what I'm after!
How much?
I wonder how much it'd cost to ship the frame only to England, postcode E17 7BE? Any idea ?

Re:

Why the sad face, I wanted it bad enough to ship it from England, looks like I may have to send it back...

Cheers, Gavan.

Cheers, Gavan.

Sad face is cos it'd be over my budget when including shipping

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but am I right in thinking these post 97 853 frames were actually pretty good? As a Dynatech lover I confess I've until now completely overlooked anything other than the titanium Raleighs.
