Ok so this came up at a police auction a few weeks back and it was pretty difficult to tell what year or model it was from the one poor picture that was available, especially as it showed a completely different colour to the frame in reality - see first picture below.
Anyway, I went for it anyway and when I picked it up was pleasantly surprised and the amount of original LX kit still on it. I've only had to replace cable, chain and tyres and add a seat & post.
I rode it at the Sherwood Pines ride on Sunday and must say, despite being slightly too big for me it rides great and is very agile and flickable.
The pictures of mine and from the weekend's ride don't seem to manage to do the bright pink paintwork justice - it really is 90's neon goodness
