nice but expensive!

was expensive new at £475, if you walk in to halfords now with £220 in your pocket lets see what you get now, i think its peanuts, it wants for nothing.
 
Re:

one owner from new and with its original bill of sale and manuals. just replaced the tyres and removed the mudgaurds. the oap owner told me it had done less than 300 miles in its life, just hung up in his garage.

That's a lovely find. Can I ask what the tryes are? I am tidying up an Ammaco from the same year, before they went in to the BSO business, with similar kit to this, I'm certain those tyres would be perfect as I've been scrubbing at the walls and there is no way they are going to be amber again!
 
Re:

Crazy stuff, I was just randomly searching for these bikes as my old man used to have one, and came across this thread and the ebay ad - you bought my dad's old bike! It really was timewarp, spent its life hung up in the garage and cleaned after every short ride! Did you end up using it much?!
