I'm going to sell my Dave Russell...

For those of you that have seen the frame, and maybe for a few others, does £150 for a 531c hand-built frame and forks by a pretty decent builder seem reasonable?

I guess all bikes are only worth what the buyer is willing to pay.

alexb,that rear mudgaurd bracket looks interesting.
IIRC you have previously posted some details ref it's construction.Could you post a link please?
It may be a solution to fitting 'gaurds to a Langster & if so i will not need to sell the most comfortable frame-fit bike I have.

Sizes?? A reasonable price I my opinion, some other framesets listed on here are a little salty.....

About a 60cm/23.3"-24" (from memory)

Why?

Having built my own audax frame at dave Yates, to my specs and his suggestions, I literally can't ride anything else. all my other bikes feel terrible in comparison.
I've been commuting on my Dave Yates mountain bike recently because I don't want to wreck the audax bike and I've just put a deposit on a very practical, but a bit dull Ridgeback Nemesis which has disc brakes and a hub gear which should be the most practical commuting bike ever.

So, basically I'm clearing the shed, I'll be selling my Pace too and getting the whole lot down to two bikes and a single spare frame/bits.

Does it have braze-ons/fittings for a rack?  I can't quite tell if there are fittings for front panniers on them there forks...
