Hi all
Picked this up a few weeks back.. Usual story don't have room for another bike/build but on seeing the image of the bike with the indignity of sporting an awful out of place fork/stem i was compelled to buy and put right
Nothing flash.. Plan is to strip/clean/polish and source bits close to original/period and use..
Got the original manual/hang tag and receipt which is cracking too..
All the parts came off without any problems and no sign of rust anywhere so looks like been indoors all i'ts life..
As i bought it
