Guess most of the long termers will be very familiar already with this bike and the quality of build from the previous owner, but it arrived in my hands last week which makes me a very lucky boy :D :D and i thought i'd just post a couple of pic's for some of the newer members who may not have seen it, it is a lovely machine but please note the purple bottle cage bolts have been changed for black.

It practically is unridden apart from a quick blast up the street by myself to get a base setting and a similar outing by the previous owner. ????????

I don't know what to do with it to be honest, it's even in the house upstairs in my office. :?

One of my favorite bikes on this site, and a bit of inspiration for my Ultimate build. You're a lucky man!

What a beauty!

I'd say dry use only (summer) and just look after it!
