Bought this on Ebay, the frame is NOS, I'm assuming from the load Planet X bought. TT is 55cm. seat tube is 57cm, Italian BB, 1 inch steerer, braze on front mech. Strange curved stays and industrial looking BB/ chainstay cluster is pretty cool looking as is the crazy paint job, weighs1.62kg
The problem with the frame is that it doesn't have mounts on the down tube for shifters or cable guides (ebay seller failed to mention), after some research and help from people on here I found it's the same case with old Cannondale frames and found you can buy the mounts from here:

I'd like to sort it and build it up but illness and too many other bikes I'm not riding means I really shouldn't.
I'd like the £35 I paid for it back, so add the 34 euros for the bosses and it's a decent frame for around £60. In Manchester But I'll post for £10, I'll donate to the forum as well. Cheers.
