Think this is a kili racer, 1992 or 1993.
Anyway, got it off tibolt_rider (the South West legend!) who had stripped it of all the bits and had the frame forks and the stuck seatpost left.
So, had it in the shed a while and decided to give it a few weeks of penetrating oil, which lives up to the hype. It was one stuck seatpost and I had tried everything, but after the daily topping up and soaking, took it to a local helping hand and he managed to free it relatively easily with some mole grips.
No real progress since, got some parts: DX rear mech, XT 737 cranks (not period but oh so pretty), just need a seatpost (30.2), and front mech, plus some cantis.
Meant to be a budget build so may even whack some spare v brakes on it and upgrade to period when I can afford bits.
