Red before yellow then! That's the exact frame i got. Real nice candy red colour it is... Cheersfor your help. Also, are these frames worth much?

Frosty:
If it is an original candy red then it is likely a team mongoose, should have a T stamped on the bb too!

I have just  taken delivery of a January 1980 frame, I have the wheels I'm going to use so now it is out to the bay to get the rest of the parts ;D

if it's a tidy frame set you can get a good 150 for it - i got that for a chrome one anyway
maybe less if it's painted or nickel

if it's a restorer - then you can buy them for 70-90 quid, in the UK plus post. i reckon

best bet to buy one is from US ebay, or from the states (put  a wanted on vintage)
couple of years ago, i bought a couple for under 100 quid shipped, from putting a wanted ad on vintage. i have since sold them all but the yellow one, due to cash flow "issues". would love another though!
