Just picked this up for £30.
Not done anything to it yet. The photo does not do it justice - it really is a shed. All original though, right down to the Muddy Fox tyres!
Frame is servicible with bits of rust but not too bad, but I think it need the following parts to make it good. Question is, is it worth it, or is it best to just use it as a pub bike?
Needs:
Tyres/tubes.
Probably wheels as spindles and spokes are rusty.
Cables and outers all round.
Stem.
Bars.
Grips.
Chain.
A good service.
To get it nice it would also need:
Brake levers and STi shifters.
Cantis.
Saddle.
Seatpost.
Pedals.
Skewers.
Seat clamp.
Front and rear mechs? Maybe.
I have some of these bits that can go on.
Why did I buy it? Well, £30 for a bit of history and the frame could be something to work with.
