That sucks. Post a pic of it up here.

Made it sticky for you also.
 
Yes post a pic on here - Im sure it will turn up in some guise - maybe even on ebay. Its our duty to go round and arrange a viewing if you know what I mean.

Keep a look out guys...
 
The sad thing about it is that i have no photos of the old girl.She was getting abit harsh on by backside though .I was riding the P7 a lot more,bit more forgiving on the nether regions as I am not getting any youger.This does give me an excuse to get a ti frame ,which would see me out.

Yes it was the hardtail.I dont suppose they are worth anything now but when I bought the frame new at the end of93 it cost in excess of 1000£.I remember that the total orignal total build was just shy of 2500.The Judy sl were 600£ back then.You get a lot more for your money these days.
