Lucky enough to pick this one up a couple of years back from a chap locally. This one is definitely a survivor and shows very few signs of use over the last 29 years. Just required the original bar and stem refitting, new set of grips and inner tubes and a good clean and polish.

Spec wise think it's pretty much original apart from grips, think tyres maybe on from new.

Re:

Cool and about time you posted in the British steel thread John.

I love it, its the best colour combo they ever did, and it looks proper.
 
Can I ask have you replaced the red decals and re-glossed it...?
 
Ah yes, should add this to British Steel, thanks :)

Decals are original afaik, looks to be clearcoated over.

Cool, its stayed the test of time very well
 
I would love an 80's bike but they are all too big for me. Got a sniff of a smaller one recently and tried to buy it but to no avail.
