    I've one of these - great frames, stiff but with the right bits on it still makes a fine bike. I did a 130 mile / 9 3/4hr Etape on one and felt great at the end. Relatively old hat some would say, not superlight by todays standards - 1490gms for my 55cm frame bare and the fork isn't the lighest either but I'd have another if I could get one at a decent price - they seem to go for around £500 on ebay for frameset alone which seems a heck of a lot when a modern carbon frame can be had for that.
    New frameset price was I think around £1000 (could be wrong there, certainly would have been £750+) - I got mine for £500 in a sale probably around 2005 - was old stock at that point.

    Weird setup, the seat is hugging the end of the rails and the stem looks pretty long. No wonder he's selling, check your sizing before buying.
