Subject: [CR]FS: Hiobbs Frame

I just tried to sell a frame on ebay, it did not sell, so I am offering to the list at a reduced price, but first I want to tell an "ebay" tale.

The frame attracted a lot of attention. Nearly 1000 views, which is high traffic for an item. In the listing I mistakenly left out the top tube length. I had lot of requests for the length, in fact so many, I started counting. It was about 125 emails asking me the TT length. Yet still no sale! Its not as if the TT was an unusual length!

Any way back to the frame. I believe it i a Hobbs of Barbican Blue Ribband. No transfers, fancy lugs, long rear facing track drop outs, round forks, drilled F&R for breaks. Fender Eyes. Chater Lea BB fitted. I have plenty of CL chainsets to go with it if you fancy one. Seat tube is 61cm C-T, top tube is errrrrr, 60.5cm C-C (is case the top tube length puts you off)! Price $400 plus shipping. You can view the item on Ebay at 3683626310 or if you need I can email photographs.
