Strange bike to find over here but my mate wheeled this into my garden the other day, it needs fixed up a bit.
He picked it up on a tour in Canada in the mid 80's - he reckons about 86.
Not a high spec bike- low end shimano and chen shin brakes,
but seems to still have original dérailleurs and shifters (Shimano EM? can some one date these?).
I love the old handlebars, relaxed geometry predating hybrids and scarily thin forks for off-roading.
He still uses it for regular 30mile road trips at the weekends.
