I still have the gold fluted seat post and 44t chainring that came with it new if you are interested.

I was gonna do it se blue, remove the lugs, fit a pit bull on the chainstays with a threaded adjuster low down on the seat tube. I just fell out with it before it started. was the only frame I have managed to manual with any sort of control!!

Looking good now, never did like the black/red/gold colour way, I bought it to get me rolling when my fleet got nicked last year.

This was how I had it.
