Age of frame  1998
This frame has been stored for a few years. There are some drops of surface rust here and there across the frame  . It's not awful  and adds to character if anything.
There is evidence of painting - it's easy to spot on close inspection as it does not match original colour. A  good place to spot this on the Top Tube Drive side  near Head tub and just below 3rd Cable Guide but also the lower stays look like this colour has been applied thickly and dried in the cold. There is nothing to suggest anything for concern. The frame still looks good even with this.

A note about our used Items. All Items are genuine vintage and whilst in full working order, may also so show signs of age or own some distinguishing marks. As well as these signs of character  there may also be some signs of rust (faint and few) and some signs of mottling on the chrome. Where possible we have tried to show these on photographs. These small imperfections are commensurate with what is expected of a bike of this age.
