Gold or silver?

Usually I would say silver, but that gold goes well with the red and the Syncros BB.

 

[Carge]

I'm of the same opinion - I'd normally say silver - but I might be using some bronze Mavic 217 - which might make it all too gold.

Very nice, looks in good condition too. What size is it?

I think just from those pics, gold, would be nice if you had the matching seat collar and headset. Would have to see it stood with the rims though to decide if it was too much. Either way, looking forward, with envy, to seeing more of the build

Not in overly good condition - I did give the BB area a clean/polish up before fitting the BB.
The top-tube has a small ding and is missing three cable stops - luckily at the same end.
If I like it when I build it, I'll get them replaced.

I have the originl gold seat clamp and the original spec RealSeal headset - which wasn't gold.
Size is 17" C2T - 15" C2C and top tube is 21" C2C

Anyone happen to know the RAL codes for the '93 Altitude?

Could only see the bb area, which looks nice, but I remember the frame now you mention the rest.

Yeah, I think it was the '94 models that had matching RF.
