Yep, a good clean and a quick handlebars adjustment and that'll be great. My size too ... but luckily too far away. It'd look great with some gumwalls though...

It looks grubby to me !

I am always a bit wary of Freddie Grubb frames, when Holdsworth took over the name they slowly relegated them to the bottom of the pile.

Such a shame for a well known brand

Big for sure but looks fairly low end imho

I've been watching this one for a while:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brian-Wi...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

The price has dropped by a £100 over the last few months. Looks like a quality frame that should polish up nicely. Only a couple of miles from me but also a couple of inches too short for my daft legs...

Go for it and just wrap your knees around your neck it will only hurt the first time

Yes, it will be a nice bike with drop handle bars and a good clean .......

Lots of potential on that one I'd say!

Here's a clean 90's bike https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163032561196?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&fromMakeTrack=true, unknown builder but some distinctive bits like the chainstay bridge and the seat clamp. Seller doesn't exactly state but implies it's original.
I'd be inclined to do a "retromodern" conversion but it's way too far from me
