I found this thing on the local craiglist the other day..the guy was asking $130 cdn ($98 US) with no wheels..as the damper in the fork is worth about that I called and said I would take it sight unseen!
it is no garage queen but was 100% complete and original..to date I have:
-totally disassembled and cleaned, polished, regreased.
-rebuilt the fork with new bushings..it actually had a risse gem cartridge and speeds springs!
-fixed leaky valve on the rear shock..just a new o ring.
-found some appropriate wheels, rebuild the hubs, and installed the correct tires
-dropped it out of the bike stand due to the seat binder not being tight enough and scratched it (I screamed quite loud)
need to fix the left shifter, and it should be added to my wifes growing collection of bikes! I will have under $200 into it! not bad I think.
