Stunning near mint survivor with all original kit, I’d guess at ‘94
Starting at £75 I’d bite his arm if it wasn’t the opposite end of the country (south west)

Yes, it is. I do find it frustrating that some people find it beyond their ability to stick a bike in a cardboard box and take it to the local post office and send it via ParcelForce (or get a family/friend to do it for them)... it really isn’t that difficult and a lot cheaper than asking buyers to organise a coureur.

That might not wash...
8 are in use/road worthy
2 are 'in build'
4 are at work
9 are hanging in the workshop/garage
5 are in the tool shed

And the Oracle I do have is one my daughter wants to do up
