Very nice. And a steal at £50.

Think it might be an SM500? They were white or blue in '88 with yellow decals.

yeah its a 500 in blueberry,none of the 'custom' graphics they show in the brochure though anyone know if you can get them??

And they had those big extended tube joints at the head tube which made them look longer than the others in the range.
