If i'm not mistaken, the fork decals suggest that the frame is SLX - pretty good stuff - and a very nice frame.
I'd be interested to know if the Bottom Bracket is English 68mm wide or Italian 70mm wide?

if you gentlemen keep talking like that you will ruin my sales pitch LOL I hope I do not get in trouble for posting this but here is the PM I sent Pstock. I do hope it is obvious that it is slightly tongue in cheek

"Hello Pstock
I am sure we have all seen worse bikes being sold as 'Mint'. if you were to sell this rundown rustbucket of a bike what do you think you might want? I mean it has soooo many paint chips and scrapes it looks more like a spotted lepoard than a bike. and those acient dangerous single pivot brakes and sluggish and unsafe barend shifters. that thing is practically like the Pinto of bikes.
