A rare thing, it even has the box :shock:

Includes the obligatory 'L'Eroica' description quote, although probably justified in this case!

1980 Chainset?

 

[Midlife]

Yup, spot on....The chainset is one thing that's 80's, plus it has portacatena dropouts which didn't hit the big names until the 80's..

They would love it in the USA!

I think its doomed to be boxed up and go back in someones loft or storage. If it was put together and ridden, its no longer unique :|

Good spot Shaun, I only looked closer because you questioned the year. When someone says 'never ridden' you assume they know when it was bought
