Thats an awesome bike. I almost bought a chrome KHE Premium Lager frame off ebay a few months ago....  But I got outbidded in the last 30 seconds :'(
The KHE Catweasle frame reminds me a bit of my Homeless Player frame

yeh they are pretty similar!
i think the catweasle was released in 92. designed by the "OG"
there is loads of neat touches.
good cable guides too - not one cable tie is required

One of my favourite frames, there's been a couple on eBay in the last year or so. Watched them go, wishing I had the money and the space.
Was one of them Ollie Matthews' old ride?

bringing a old thread back from the dead here. If it was Ollies old frame, that makes it my old frame as well lol. I wonder where it is now? My mate had it off Ollie, and I had it off my mate, the headtube was knackered, everything used to come loose. IIRC Ollie only had the one frame so must be the same one.
