Title: Challenger on ebay?

This doesn't look like a Challenger to me.

Yeah, thats a later, over sized one. It should have a "C" stamped on the end of the BB wish bone.

A really nice blue one like that was up for sale on here a few months ago.

I see.  Hard to find pictures of the later version.  Were they heavy?

I dont know how heavy they were, but they were still the race frame so they were pretty light.

Here is a pic of my old one, I rode it for ages. I thickened up the drop outs and changed it to a chainstay U brake. A mate is using it at the moment so when i get it back I will take some more pics.
