I don't think i'd even do that, maybe just new decals as the pictures i had showed it to be in really good original condition. I think Andy maybe surprised.

Did you have some newer pics? I thought I saw some image files linked? Anyway I guess a lot can happen in 18 months especially if it's just getting in the way. A real shame if he'd let it deteriorate from the nice condition it was in when I saw the pics.

I see now. When I linked it last week I don't think the user had added the link to the pics. That hasn't been looked after in the 18 months since I saw pics of it. I think it's the same bike as it did have the chip on the seat tube lug and seatstay which are giveaways, but the chain stay rash and down tube chips are new.

thanks andy

What colour Pathfinder? Is it the Purple splatter or the rare Neon Blue one?
