Got this late last week, was pretty much original I understand bar saddle seatpost and outer chainring. However the rear mech was a bit floppy so I swopped it for a non period LX I had spare and while I was at it also changed the saddle for a battered Rolls and the plastic coated front canti for an old XT (for some reason I only had one - serendipity?).
Have had a quick ride around the garden and it feels fine - it's certainly a sturdy machine!
Also got me thinking - originally came with a silver post and black stem - when did the trend for matching stem and post colour really take hold as at one point it was certainly 'the law'.
