yes although it doesn't correspond to the owners address currently - although the bike shop it was purchased from originally was in Wetherby so it may have been that of the bike shop that is no longer, as that postcode doesn't correspond to anything any more

That postcode was discontinued in December 1992 according to Royal Mail, they did that a lot at this time unfortunately...

Was probably quite a broad postal code which was split into many smaller ones after 1992

I sourced a period correct Deore DX Group, seems appropriate for this class of bike which would not have been fitted with XT or anything fancy.
Plenty of life left in this set, though it needs some cleaning and minor maintenance while the frame is away.
