Also, the rear seat-stays have a nicely crafted concave bit at the end where it meets the seatpost. Here's a better pic of what I mean...
I was building frames for ernie for most of the 80's and this frame is from 83/84 built in Newtown Wales. the decals are not standard they were proto type Clements ones, and as for 'the rear seat-stays have a nicely crafted concave bit ' this was a cheaper version of brazed in stay ends developed by a bloke from Rhayder, powys. The frame is 531 tubing and probably built by myself or even my wife lol. She worked there also. Nice to see this one still kicking around. pS WHO DID YOU BUY THIS OFF AS MYSELF AND WIFE SEEM TO REMEMBER THIS BIKE!
