Just picked this beauty up today. The last owner has had it from new but rode it for a matter of maybe 100miles (and I believe him!) and since then stuck in storage so its mint!!! Like it came from the bike shop only yesterday not 19 years ago! Completely original down to the marin lite tyres which are mint too! Have a look at the pics, I haven't even washed it yet so any marks are dirt more than anything...
