been in my loft since i stopped riding it in 1985. It has an oval downtube which has a CRACK just below where it joins the headtube. It was rewelded in '85 with a blob...but could be filed down to make it tidy. Frame is chrome underneath the Renault grey paint but would either need rechroming or painting properly. The cups/giro parts are no longer on the frame, its just the frame you get......

The guy lives in Uxbridge, he may be a mate of John Pover??? John had a great 1/4 pipe in Uxbridge, anyone remember it?

Stodgy, can't remember the exact location, just remember Uxbridge. It had a grass run up, I got a pic of it somewhere, I see if I can find it. It was 8 feet wide, nice  ;) and build correctly.
