Re:
Hi tom how's it going
About 3 years ago I found a 1988 falcon Colorado atb at a local car boot!
It was in near mint nick and looked like it has only been used a handful of times. All I had to do was pump up the tyres a good clean and a bit of lube here and there.
It was a fantastic ride and was covered in sugino and dia compe stuff with very little wear on anything.
If yours is in v. Good nick make it a keeper because you don't come across stuff like these to often. Wish I still had mine just for a pure nostalgia ride of how it used to be
Good luck with it when you get it

Re: Re:
+1 ^^ should be a very rewarding process.
It'll be a different bike afterwards, especially if you remove all the tat
.... Hate seeing MTB's with mid guards, its a kin to a seeing a sports car with a towing bracket.
As for wax just use regular car wax, but just go careful round the decals/stickers as they wax will get lodged under the edges that are lifting.
