Titanium?

Very possibly - although looks dated - given how rapidly MTBs have "evolved" from similar geo to road to "long and slack"; whether this is a good or bad thing..

Not sure, just seems a bit strange.
Do me a favour and message the seller in Daventry and see if you get a reply please

I've given their balls a tickle and await their response 👍

Probably made by Donahue, who also made for a host of other NW England shops, good basic frames with no fancy “signature” details, and all the better for it.

Thanks - although that's not helping me not buy it!

Intriguing - seller a bit of a knobber?

Either that or it's The Curious Case of the Quantum Holdsworth in superposition...

Indeed! Tbh sounds suspicious as I've not had a response from the seller, although they don't appear to have read it so it might be less malicious more that they've fallen asleep at the wheel / have been hit by a bus / have their old chap caught in the pantry door and are unable to get to the internet... Regardless it seems that @biggs682 is out of luck

Oh well it blows one theory out of the water but thanks for asking

No, it went way over my bid and way over the estimate.

Certainly did but still not too bad considering what they are

Eclectic mix as they say. Purple one looks like my era, the one with the red lugs looks like an early Dawes.
