Hallo Harry,
thank`s for the pictures. I have to say, that I am a little bit disapointed, because isn`t in that condition, how I wish, it would be. Please, if you look at img_2100, you will see a crack at weld seam. That is not only the paint, for sure. You oversprayed a origin black frame, right?
At Img_2095, you see, that the swingarm is repaired. It is hte gusset near main pivot. I know it, because I think, it is the frame, that I raced in time 2004 and 2005. I had different cracks and repairs at swingarm and mainframe. If you screw out the bottom bracket and there is 2 componet epoxy inside the thread or the thread is demaged, then I am sure, that was my frame.
Because of to many damages and no correct warrenty settlement at beone, I sold the bike. I put a picture of one of the owners that owned the bike after me (see pic below)
I am interested, but 500 Euro is to much.
I want build up a bike like in history race time. But my budget is not as high, that I can give you 500 Euro for a frame, that I let have to repair, making fresh colors and so on. It is a nostagic think, but not the end, if I don`t get a frame, I searching for.
My offer is 350, Frame, Shock and Bottom Bracket
Whats your last word or price?
p.s. When I see the pictures, also at swingarm, I am sure, that there will be new damages (permanently ripped cracks), you can see at your images) At one image, I thing, there could b a crack at the gusset weld seam from Head tube to main tube. I am not sure, but it seems so.
Unfortunately, I have too many experiences with such things. I drove a lot of races between years 2000 and 2010. The frame construction was unfortunately not as good then as it is today. Every year. you had to exchange min 1 frame.
Best Regards, Gordon
