p.s. Paintwork is in amazing condition. How old is that frame?
I bought the frameset on Ebay from a seller in France and think it's early 2000's. It was likely a custom given the name of the original owner painted on the top tube under the clear coat. The frame looked to have been built up but never ridden. I'd similarly bought a like new Cyfac Le Mythique TT frameset that I built as a road bike.
