Hey Calvert ,

Yes , that's a beauty !

And the builders of that frame , fork , and stem , were Ron Cooper and Martin Coopland .

The current owner of the Bates name ( and the names Cantiflex , and Diadrant ) is Martin Coopland .

The trophy winning rider was Martin Coopland .

The eBay seller is Martin Coopland .

And ,

Mr. Martin Coopland is not only a member of this list , he was also kind enough to offer that frame-set to the list first , before he put it on eBay !

What a guy ! What a frame-set ! What a stem !

:^) Happy Cycling !
