To be honest, yes. Only because your frame has some bad rust looking at other pictures on you flicker account. Your components aren't in the best nick either though but you saddle should fetch just over 100 quid that will get you on the way to your 500 target.

I thought it looked great til I saw the rear stays, WTF did that, if it was as I suspect a padlock & chain then here's a tip for the future, Take an old innertube and slide the chain into that then cut to length, split lengthwise the rest of the innertube and wrap that round the padlock and secure with electrical tape. Bit late for that one though.
BTW £230 for a Swift Ti , I didn't even spend a ton on my one and that weren't that long ago, and yes mine is Titanium railed.

nice - what size? Or perhaps easier for comparison - what size are you?

But one q - you say "racing triple" but looks like a double to me - or am I not looking properly

And whereabouts are you based.

nah, sadly the previous owner (i bought this at a charity bike workshop) has a shopping rack on it, which clamped onto the seatstays. (who does that?)
I've had it 3 years, kept it dry as a bone and recently overhauled the drivetrain.[/quote]

It's a 56cm. I can measure all the tube lengths if you want. I am 1.78m (5'10" 1/2). Fits me like a glove.
