656 .... all ready to go, well almost.
I do need to swap that hideous bright handlebar stem for the Ritchie item I have on the bench.
Not mint, but as original as I could get it, rides really well - jr

First ride out on my 856 today.

So what are we to expect from the rear end then?

I found it to climb well over pretty rocky terrain , descend well up on the pedals but struggle with damping over longer flat bumpy sections peddling seated?

Just got this lovely 856 from 1996 in size 18"







Some modern parts but retro looking hopefully.
