Classic USA made bonded aluminium frame (rides like a quality steel frame), Shimano 105 drivetrain, Exage 500EX brakes. In VGC and riding beautifully - everything works nicely. Frame has some scratches but no nasty damage - could easily be touched in and tidied up.
I bought this as a "shed find" - not rideable, with a broken spoke on the rear wheel due to a poorly adjusted derailleur. I've done what it needed to get it riding well - in other words: Spoke replaced and wheel trued, new stainless inner brake cables, and some lubing cleaning and adjustment here and there. Chain and cassette are both good. Still to do if you wanted it perfect - new bar tape, gear cables replaced (frayed at end) tyres replaced (? old but holding air). Worthy of a bit more TLC as it's a beauty!
Pick up from South Devon or I will post in the UK for an additional £40.
I will be keeping the (non-original) pedals pictured but can include something basic to get you on the road. I fitted the scruffy but comfy Flite saddle because I wasn't keen on the Turbomatic one it came with. Happy to include either...
