Thought it looked familiar, quick check of my ebay watch list and I know what it is!

I won't spoil the surprise, I know you've been after one for a while, see you on Saturday .

Yep, one bidder, all original apart from the tyres?

What's the original spec tyres for this? I may be able to help if you want to get it back to full original spec as I stripped another model of similar vintage (scrap frame).

Re: moist teaser

If it is what I think it is the original tyre were panaracer ibex and I haven't seen any, not that I looked very hard as i figured that like the saddle they would be like rocking horse poo.

He he, I really don't know if we're "singing from the same hymn sheet" here but I've just googled this bike and found a picture of one with the same tyres that I have, different from the ones you mention.

I don't want to give away the tyre make, I'll leave clues to The Big Cheese .

Re: moist teaser

Swallow should have been on there but they were pooped so I have Wolber, NOS, amberwall...

And a perfectly period Turbo.

Condition is lightly used but battered by storage.
