Retro Newbie
I purchased mine back in the early summer of 1987 at the age of 25.
The cycle is 100% original never crashed or damaged and from day one the only extra i had on bike was the mileometer which now only shows 171km total ever travelled!. The Triathlon has been in my garage loft for the past 18 years and was protected by a coat of WD40 and grease which has preserved it 99.9% perfect.
For memory ithink the bike cost me £339?, i still have the original blue booklet and guarantee forms in their plastic bag. Just recently a cycling fanatic friend fancied a retro bike, he pestered me about it so i dug it out wiped it down and inflated the [original] 700C tyres. Not being desperate for the money or really needing to sell i lost interest as he dithered about making a descision... so it will be returned to its darkened storage once more prehaps to return to daylight again many years from now!.
