Won this on Ebay a couple of weeks back. Firstly, I need to say a big thankyou to NeilM for collecting, storing and posting (with immaculate packing) for me. he also did me a great deal on some M739 V's - but I digress!
I have spent the morning cleaning and polishing before getting out for a short ride.
What a bike, fits me perfectly! Back end is so stiff, I'm sure it will zip up climbs (never my forte, so I need all the help I can get!)
Spec will change over time. Certainly need a slightly wider bar, Ti USE post and a different crank. Back wheel and rear mech will also be replaced. Next job is new cables, as I can't stand frayed ones... but typically didn't have any in... Anyway here's the pics!
Loving the gusset on the Bonty stem!
This is how it arrived -
These were after the elbow grease!
