I've got one of these but don't know what to do with it as it has been resprayesd a metallic blue which looks wrong. Any idea what colours they came in? Love your one by the way!

In '89 only this red/black crackle finish, the 'Courier' was a grey/white crackle and is easily recognisable by the conventional seat stays where the comp has wishbone.

Exactly the same as my old mans from years ago. You just need the riveted saddle and it would be even more perfect.

Some fwit nicked it ours out the shed and that was that.

I'd quite like to get him another one, one day, but I think it's too stretched out to be comfortable for him now

Thanks for the colour advice Carl, I am really not sure what to do as I very much doubt my chances of getting that sort of paint finish. A burgandy powder coat might look ok? I will organise a photo and send it over FYI...Thanks for sharing this project in its different guises, it is interesting to see how the bike has chnged in your ownership

Dragged out of storage today and put the Griptrax Tyres on for a photoshoot, thinking that I may want to give this a whirl up at Swinley forest while it's dry.
