Dawes The Edge XTR

Nice bike - Strange to see eyelets for panniers on a racing frame
 
I think The Edge had eyelets all the early years, at least. The paint looks like the first Edge xTRa (1992) with decals from 1994 (which is also the date of the fork, I think. So I'd guess it was a production frame from 1992 (the only fillet-brazed frame that year) which subsequently had the decals added when the forks were changed, around 1994.

I would love this, but it's too small for me. I was still tempted anyway - finding one with those forks (they look like the later 653 forks, rather than the 531 rigids from 1992) in 20" or larger seems very unlikely.
