Its a Brian Rourke custom built reynolds 853 (but very similar geometry to a 19" Marin Pine Mtn HT). It has no disc brake mounts and is configured for a 80-100mm fork so will only take rigids with an a-c of 445mm I beleive. It will need some TLC, there is surface oxidisation along the bottom of the downtube and in the usual places of scuffing, the chainstays etc. Its been in my loft for the last 5 years or so and I was considering this for a project, to get a rear mount brazed on and a respray. Unfortunately I have now gone all 29er in this respect (a rigid fast bike for commuting and general messing about on)so its a bit surplus to requirements. Its an incredibly light frame, but built for speed as the biggest tyre you will get in the back is 2.1. Measurements, TT (along the tube) is 22 3/4" and the seat tube on an imaginary vertical is 19". I am looking around £70 for this, a courier can be arranged or collect from Sheffield area. E-mail address in profile. See pictures here:
