Lou,
Here's the deal.
The frame is ser.#010 96. Built late 1996. It is 57 cm c-t with a 56.5cm top tube. The angles are 73-73 degrees. The drop is 8cm (3 1/8") resulting in a 26cm (10 1/4") bb height. The rake is 4.0cm and the chainstay length is 415mm. It is built with Reynolds 531 tubing and Nervex professional lugs. Earlier this year or late last year, the bike was sent to me for repair on account of a crease in the down tube caused by a pedal wrench that had slipped off. I didn't feel bondo was appropreiate for this dent so I replaced the down tube (thank goodnes for low temp silver brazing) which was a piece of cake since I keep the original full scale drawings of each frame for cases just like this. Since the frame wasn't crashed only dented from a wrench, it was a very untraumatic repair. I then repainted it a bright pearl yellow with pearl white head tube and seat tube panels. Apparently the bike has not been reassembled since the repaint. The owner has lots of bikes so there is a chance the bike is very low milage, but regardless was very well taken care of. If I remember this bike is somewhat plain in that I don't recall any cutouts in the lugs.
Hope this helps anyone who is curious about the frame.
