The trouble with buying bikes that fit is they're hard to let go of. Most of my projects now fit me and this one doesn't. My son and I have done quite a bit of work on it, which has been fun for us and a good learning experience for him. But even he's probably too tall for this now and there's still a bit left to do. Also he's moved onto other bikes. So much as I'd like to finish this (it's one of my more interesting projects) I can't really justify the time and space, when I have so little of both, on a bike that's too small.
I've bought the replacement seal kit from France so the forks should now be fixable. I had a go but didn't really know what I was doing.
The back wheel needs a spoke. A bolt broke in the fork or stem (can't remember) but I got the remnants out so just needs a replacement bolt.
Aside from that it should be good to go, maybe a bit of tuning and wheels slightly need truing.
Mostly original, main non original part is crankset I think.
Probably about a 17" but will check.
Looking for about £70 plus post as that's what it owes me.
Will probably take me a bit of time to sort out postage as it's summer and I don't have a car.
Pics below in the links (catalogue page too), will take some current ones soon
