Interesting seatstay treatment too. A Pegasus is on my "to-own" list.

708 tubing has internal splines like Columbus TSX and is heat treated like 753. If it is 708, then that's a pretty good price, because it doesn't come up much.

A key tell is the chain stays are chisel edged and generally as find Bruce said there's also usually the name/brand in the seat stays. Often they don't put clear enough photos on the ads to see these things though

The fixed.org.au head tube decal is worth the price of admission.

Anyone else appreciate the irony of a track bike called Everest?
