Still nice..

Thanks for the info :daumenhoch:

I really had no intention to buy this frame, just wondered what it was as I'm sure I remember a local one years ago (mid to late 80's) :)

I'm going to be on the lookout for a new project in a couple of months and am aiming for a goose decade or redline rl20 II...Did have an rl20 lined up in rough survivor condition, but the seller (an old mate) did some research online and now wants stupid money for it :(...the search goes on!

Are these the ones that kays or freemans catalogues used to sell in a white/red/blue colourscheme with some kind of mag wheels on them?
