    if you mean the mosquito bikes one includng the reynolds fork and a stem, i think it's a decent price, original was well over a grand

    nice looking frame and has had good reviews, i was thinking about it but there were none my size
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    16 bikes avilable and none in your size? that's unlucky.

    wouldn't matter if there were a thousand, there's only three sizes available xs/s/l

    750 pounds is still a lot of money for a non-custom frame. Most British builder could make you a fillet brazed 853 or whatever frame for less money, and it would be made for you, rather than for Herr Mittelpunkt. And you could pick the colour ;)

    There are also Italian frames for about that, if you can find them in the UK....

    If that's expensive, what about £2200 for a Pegoretti?
