Suntour New Winner 6 spd

My #2 touring bike that I switched to use as a cyclocross bike. Second only to my Bridgestone. Great bike in it's own right. Shimano Deore XT / Superplate deraillers with Suntour barcon shifters.
According to Tim Neenan the designer of this frame, it is actually Tange 1.0/0.7 dbl butted tubing used. He actually designed the frame for Specialized from another that he custom built as a frame builder in his own right.

This is a great frame and the build makes it very smooth

However together with my Bridgestone T700 it makes two bikes which are very comparable. So I've been toying with the idea of selling it and have been watching what others have been bringing. I need some cash to put into my others and would like to see this one go to somebody who appreciates it for what it is.
*I like that Raleigh of yours also..
