I was offered what was described as a 'Mint' frame, built up but never ridden. The frame was built by SBDU Nottingham in 1987 and shipped directly to its new owner in Australia - the frame comes with the original Raleigh box, TI compliments slip and shipping 'telegram' with info on flight details from Singapore to Australia.
It arrived earlier today and it is as far as I can tell, an unridden frame, there is not a mark on it apart from wheel QR marks and a serrated washer imprint on the fork crown. The owner brought it back to the UK about 15-20 years ago. This guy apparently also had a similar unridden condition Cinelli track frame and a Gios Super Record (still with its polystyrene box).
Here are some images...
I cannot see any sign that this frame has been outside on the road, the internals of the seat tube, fork column and BB are all spotlessly clean, like new. Probably as close as I will ever get to a NOS 'still in the box' SBDU frame.
