IRL. the paint is almost mint, there is a few chips in it around the fork ends that´s it, not faded at all. Previous owner rode it for 500km and then put it in the shed. I think he´s discomfort with the bike relates to the long stem (130mm) I´m 183cm, and it´s way to long for me.
When I change what I want to change, i´ll post in the Readers Road Bike section.
