These bikes are ACE! One day they might be sought after as much as an Aero Reflex  :-\

Here's my RS3

do you mean an 880  :-\ as a FS880 brake cable would come up underneath?

Correct, an fs880. The cable clamp and adjustor are bolted in , so easy to swap them around for regular top entry cable. They just come out of the box with the potts mod type arrangement. Actually rather good to ride these group1 frames..perhaps we should start a group 1 owners club for us fanboys.The blue one is looking good there ......

Exactly what I thought  ;D

These used to sell on here for around a ton ish so if owt like the Streetbeats and Reflex's

Workshyfop's may be worth almost double what he paid 5 years ago  :)

Very sloped seat tube CW=esque with decent 20" plus Top tube , probably why Pete Longcarvich liked em so much

Always liked the colours on these frames in both red or the blue , underated frames  :)
