The vendor has been advised about the chain issue .
Unsure how much gnawing or possible damage has taken place on the crossmember
However the frame shows signs of kerbing .or contact with sleeping policeman .
So any wise purchaser will inspect before buying .
Many many years ago a well known cycle magazine based in Bath .
Carried out a review and road test of a Peter Ross Crystal Engineering Trice.
It was supplied in kit form ready for the tame magazine mechanics to assemble .
A few months later it was returned and much to the horror of the designer and maker . The chain had been routed the wrong way and the frame had a 25mm chain saw cut mark ........the frames was written off .
The magazine testers thought the transmission was a little noisy compared to a bicycle
