Not top end, just entry level, but all there, just oiled the cables, pumped up the tyres, and wiped it down :cool: The only damage is to one rim where he ran the brakes down so low that the backing has marked the rim :facepalm:

Stamping on the stem is 99 over 06 indicating June '99, so maybe slightly later...colour scheme seems to be right for that age.

Very pleased with this...... :D
 
That really does look great and i bet it goes well to and the specialized handle bar stem looks nice and sturdy and they give a nice long reach to as i've got one on my commuter which i got off ebay last year for 99p and just love it ..
