Just bought this but it's too big for me.
Nice condition - you could ride it as it is - hubs need grease but seem to be ok and needs new headset too.
Decals good in the main, no rust as such, just some slight surface bits that could be cleaned off and touched up. A lot of these bikes of this era from Astars have rotted away!
I'll update with a size but I reckon it's about 19" at a guess. I'll measure it at dinnertime.
I haven't ridden it yet but will do to gauge how the gears work.
I will make a few pounds on this to be honest but the price is still very low - you really don't see these everyday. I need to cover my diesel costs and lost work time in picking it up and it won't be cheap to post so it isn't a moneyspinner to me!!
I think the best thing for it would be a nice DX upgrade with nice wheels. The frame warrants it and it would be a really nice bike if this was done.
See thread at http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=151310 for some pics.
I have more and can take more but it might be later in the day.
£85 posted, reasonable offers welcome. May be able to deliver in West Yorkshire for free so would be £75 collected or delivered if you live close to me.
Swaps also considered - would like a nice set of DX black rim wheels.
Thanks
Rob.
