Could this be the one Jawine's been looking for? worth an enquiry maybe.

It was a 525L which is what I have now :)

One day... a 525S or 500S...but for now "old faithful" got a new front mudguard and headset bearings along with a paint touch up for more happy miles together.

Close but not close enough, shame. I don't think there were any dimensions on the listing when I first posted this, I remember thinking that it looked close to what you are looking for. Anyway I'll keep an eye out and if I spot one you'll be the first to know.
Anyway, sounds like "Old Faithful" is doing you proud for just now.
Happy cycling.

:)

The 6 cm stem is not ideal, though perhaps I can put short reach bars on him. Other than that...it's an 853 fillet brazed frame what's note too like ^_^
