Re: Aende 531 tt
Hi Shaun,
Yes its sold to the man at the back, namely me, just got to collect it, hopefully this weekend.
I did try having a word with myself over Xmas what with an imminent house move, into a small cottage the ever growing herd would need a cull, thus no more purchasing but then a friend who also has a large herd, his Italian and mine English found a Barn to rent between us at a price to good to pass on, problem solved phew.
They still need a cull though, too many bikes and too many frames, the latter gets very expensive and is the preserve of a wealthy man to build up that number of frames and do a proper job.

. I have 3 Pongo frames so I guess 4 would just seem greedy lolRe: Aende 531 tt
Hi Shaun,
I'm glad I lead you from temptation and perhaps helped save your sanity in the process..4 would have indeed been downright greedy so I will save you from guilt too. In fact it will now be my third, I must share photos of mine with you sometime, the 653 is one of the last he built, its a little unclear when this was (you may know) but he was certainly active in 94 and perhaps 95? Cant for the life of me remember when the 653 frame was built, seller (original owner) did tell me (93-96?)
The other is a real gem, in Columbus KL tubing, a big frame too, not sure it would appreciate my 97 kg astride it, maybe for a smooth 10 or 25 and I hardly have the Reg Harris kick to worry it!.
You can see an Aende among my flickr pics if you look for MKM Ultimate on flickr.. in Bright Orange then look at my sets/bikes/frames this particular Aende was a frame only..although it must be 5 years since I last updated things.
