I just bought this F+F off US Ebay.

Twasn't cheap either and Customs screwed me over too :(

I've always liked the look of 'em so I thought I'd get one for the novelty value!!

Its an October 1995 model XL.  20.5" TT.  Cro-Moly front triangle and Aluminium backend.

Its pretty heavy though so should take a fatty like me!!

I'm still looking for some Auburn Bars!!

And some other GT parts for this and my robbo!!   :daumenhoch:

Moley that is an awesome frame  :daumenhoch: I would dearly like to own one of those was the yellow back end the original colour . Let me know if you want me to speak to the bloke at work who has the robbo in his shed , but after what you paid for the auburn you might have to wait till next payday. £280  :shocked:

The rear dropouts are crushed a bit so it has definitely been used while it was yellow.    So it might be!!  ???

I'd be interested in the Robbo!!

I can always sell my other Robbo F+F if his is better than mine!!

That frame set is all wrong...  the front end ( Headset and Forks) or rear triangle do not go with that frame.

and as for Scarys gentlemans glove, think again...

My forks aren't original too?  :(

The dropouts dont look the same as other Auburns I have seen!!

I checked the advert and he states Auburn Frame.  He never even mentions the forks!!

The cheatin' double crossin' fooker!!  :LolLolLolLol:

I'm not too bothered.  A fork is a fork is a fork!!

I'll just pick up some auburn forks if they ever cross my path!!
