[Closed] What was/is the prettiest one-one frame?

badly designed. a bit of extra mudroom is pointless if your stay only lasts a year.

The Argos paint is, IMO, superb. It's dulled slightly, and there's the odd scuff, but that bike is my main ride and sees all conditions all year round, so that's to be expected. I'd say it'll last at least 2-3 more years before it starts looking worn. When I built the bike up I dropped my HT2 BB spanner on the top tube and it didn't leave any mark at all.

Oh yes. And mine isn't the only one. Most 853 Inbreds suffered chainsuck problems to some degree. No matter, it's fixed now. 🙂
