ooOhh, If you are interested I am guessing it is too small for me so I can safely ask...where is it for sale ?

On the subject of SLX frames, if anyone is looking for something small this could be just the thing although you may need to google translate

@woodbutcher - and £600 would buy this SL framed-one in Yorkshire, suitably £99 less for no 'X' but a seatpost, headset and crankset with bottom bracket: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EDDY-MERCKX-VINTAGE-FRAME-FORKS-55cm/114269537151
Very nice, and close to me. Thankfully just a tad too big. Phew

Luckily I am not a facebook person,
.In any case I think the price is a little steep. It is a refurb and it is not too difficult to find an SLX frame in the correct size and have it repainted for less than that. In fact ,there is a 58cm Corsa Extra witt what looks like a full ultegra group for the equivalent of £225 currently for sale about 40 miles away.......now where are my car keys

I'm with you, I'd always rather have the original paint and patina. I'm also surprised that some framesets are being advertised for not much less than a complete bike. Having built stuff up from a bare frame it doesn't half add up when you have to source everything.

Rather a nice M-Trax MTB in Scarborough, bit pricey.
