Well spotted chaps. He assured me that it's in fine if careworn fettle. And is throwing in a rack and hopefully panniers. Did a bit of wheeling and dealing. Cash is king!
It's here. Needs a lot of TLC. But basically sound. Characterful patina.
Hoods shot and unavailable (6500) will do something creative with bar tape. Rack has no mountng bars to seat stays. Seat clamp looks odd, middle ring ordered. Mudguard bolts missing in part. Lots of chips and minor rust. Filthy. A great project. Just what I wanted.
