Yeah, that's what had me confused till I saw the blow holes....
Might be worth emailing Joe and see what he has to say?

The only thing that gets in the way of loe gearing is the brake stays, or the brake really, you need to get one that is very low :daumenhoch:

Thanks for that, I think I am going to go for a gearing in-line with the age of the frame so hopefully a 36-13 or a bit larger will be fine.
It bloody better be, I've just brought a pair of wheels which can only take 13t - 16t freewheels.

Well it's not everyday when checking your emails you see the name Joe Rich in your Inbox :)
I took dannywhac's advice earlier in the week and sent Joe a quick email, to see if he could help identify
the age of my barcode frame, and this is what Joe had to say.
Hey Mike,
Thanks for the email. I'm going to guess that your frame is early 02 at the latest, and possibly late 01. But I think early 02. The different
sized right and left dropout make me think one or the other. The frame looks pretty sweet though, nice find ! Let me know what you think.

I hadn't even noticed the dropouts were different sizes, I weighed it and it comes in at about 8lbs, so given what Joe says I have either got a Kastan or a Spooky,
still not too sure which, but if Joe say's I've got a pretty sweet looking frame that's good enough for me.
The next big decision is what colour to get it re-sprayed, any opinions?
I'm really chuffed that Joe took the time to get back to me, if I decide to get a new school bike it's going to be a T1 :daumenhoch:
