KeithyT:
Well done glenboy. I was after that too but £250 was my limit. It had gone up and down like a yo-yo with bids being retracted etc. and I was hoping people wouldn't touch it after that. It looked so close to that KYZ ad too...

What's the serial on yours? You don't have to be too specific if you don't want to - just a year and month might help.
I might get shot down for saying this but here goes...
Both yours and Sicura's bikes are KYZ's, everyone's agreed on that. Sicura's has the ET style small hole gusset (oo-err) but yours has a KZ-1 larger diameter gusset and smaller hole for cable routing. The theory is that there were loads of ET frames left over that wouldn't sell so they chromed them and sold them as KYZ's.
Maybe they ran out of ET sized gussets and started using KZ-1 gussets to complete the frame sets - a bit like when Skyway only had one side of fork dropout left over but used them on both sides. Apart from the gussets, the frames are identical aren't they?
glenboy:
i reckon you're spot on ozone as that advert is from 1984 and the frames were made in 1982 my serial is T2E0873
