So, here it is.

Made August 1980 at Nottingham. A bit battered and after getting the Team Corsa I won't be restoring it. All the bits are there and work fine. It's got Weinmann 700c wheels on the usual Maillard hubs.












I'll probably not even ride it! Really wanted a Worksop one so thinking I'll try and get one of the higher spec models to use as a tourer!
 
Looking at the clearances, I wonder if these are the original wheels? They might have been 27" as supplied?
 
Re:

Could well be. I've never seen an original detailed spec sheet for the very late ones. I can see it would have looked really good when it left the factory. Does make me want one of the r501 or higher spec bikes. spec bikes actually.
