I acquired it this year from a roadie friend, who bought it new in '95 - minus forks and a couple of odds and sods. It hasn't been rideable until today - a couple of laps of the garden so far. It's still on it's original chain and brake blocks! Although it is very original, it has been neglected by his son who used it for a few months recently, left it outside for some of the time - the seat post was solid in the frame. I got it free eventually using lots of penetrating oil, and a hot air gun!!
