An impulse buy on my part that I'm letting go.

With the exception of my FS MTB, I'm selling all my bikes and numerous parts.

Quality touring frame from Overburys of Bristol with period parts from the 1980s. Built with Reynolds 531 "Special Tourist" tubing braze ons for rear rack and front low rider rack. Paint mostly sound but vinyl decals are a bit tatty.

Dimensions:

Seat tube 56cm c to c
Top tube 56cm c to c
Head tube 15.2cm

Chainset Stronglight 99 compact double with drilled rings
Rear mech Shimano XT "deers head" long cage
Front mech Shimano
Shifters Simplex retrofriction
Shimano wide profile cantilevers with Weinmann levers. The hoods are shot.
Maillard hubs on alloy rims.
Wide ratio 5 speed block

Will still make a lovely old school tourer with some tlc.

I've put a nice San Marco Rolls on it that goes well with the paint scheme. It's the dark green textured one.

Mechanically it's spot on.

I think it needs new hoods and new tyres but that's it. The tyres hold air but there's too much cracking going on for my liking.

For anyone interested, it owes me £20 in fuel as it was the other side of Bath not Bristol.

Also owes me £25 for the saddle. With what I paid for it that's £190. If anyone wants to collect it for that price (£190) then they're most welcome but please don't ask me to post it.

Collection preferred from the Hardwicke area of Gloucester I will post if absolutely necessary for an additional £30 but it will require a degree of re-assembly.

£195.00 or very near offer by bank transfer or cash on collection.
