1985 drop bar Overburys Fell Rider

Re: Overburys

Thanks for all the comments, thumbies now sorted, might go the direction of bullmoose for this old steed
 
Re: Fell Rider

Bullmoose, bear trap, deer head and not forgetting the Suntour ‘Pie Plate’ - nice and meaty names in 1985.

Bit of an update, got most parts now, the bullmoose work really well but sadly the hanger got completely flattened in transit from Norway, and it snapped off on one side when I tried to bend it back. Boll*x. So, now looking for a worthy cable hanger, that headset also a placeholder. Otherwise is almost rideable.

Re:

Fillet brazed Overbury's; Sugino AT; Bear Traps; RM20s; XC shifters; 600 ex. Loving this. Retro heaven. (FWIW, think I prefer quill stem and riser bars).

What's the frame number? I have a small-frame one (Wild Cat range?) with 1984 / 85 components, no frame number.

I suspect Mr Powell did a few off the books around this time.
