Extremely rare Orbit Softride 653 / Campagnolo bike

Retro Newbie
SOLD - Really chuffed that this was actually bought by one of my old customers from 25+ yrs ago.



I'm completely gutted that I'm having to let this go but apart from the fact that my stomach now has to rest on the top bar when I try ride it, we just don't have the room to keep this anymore so I am selling an extremely rare* Orbit soft ride bike circa 1992.
