This started off as a badly listed & photographed ebay advert and resulted in a 5 hour round trip to Swindon to get it !
A classic case of lack of affection actually saving it as it was covered in a thick layer of grease that preserved a lot of it quite nicely. It's not in garage queen condition but then it's going to get ridden so that's ok
Unfortunately although the original tyres are present they're good for photographs only as the sidewalls have gone
The other downside is that the seatpost is too short for me to get the right saddle height so it won't be making it's first appearance at Cannock tomorrow after all
