I picked this up at my local scrap metal processing establishment a couple of weeks ago.
One look was all it took, asked how much, I'm a regular 'browser' in there so I know the guys quite well.
£10 came the reply, sold says I.
I got it home, first step (obviously) date it, second step find spec sheet/catalogue.
All components present and correct.
I replaced all the rusty bolts, nuts and chain while tearing it down for a clean, regrease/oil and minor adjustments to make it run perfect, to be fair it didn't need much adjustment.
The tyre walls have dried up but I left them on anyway to keep the authenticity.
When I come to sell it I can change them at the buyers request or leave them to it.
I'm still astounded at how it has lived that long and still looks new, I think whoever bought it rode it for a week, then it rained and a bit of road spray got their shoes wet and they never rode it again, I reckon the chipped paint happened as they moved it from one corner of the garage to another many times over the years.
Cheers
