Havn`t got a clue what it is, but it`s got to be worth £23  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Now know wat it is thanks to another post and it seems to be a faze 7?Never heard of them before but apparantley there a well built bike made for bike shops to sell under there name its made from reynolds tubing so it should be a quallity bit of kit.Looks a bit like a beefed up firebird i think,might even be a quite rare and valuable thing?

yeah, that looks cool. oxalic acid is a good tool for rust, but that one probably does need a powder to bring it up right.

the bars were 501 (and seatposts) and the f+f were 531 iirc

on that frame will be a 531 sticker

got a feeling those frames were made in england too.

british workers, british steel
