Okay so it's got knobbly 700c wheelset and not quite cyclocross so I'm sticking this here as it's more mtb ;)

Bought from Facebook marketplace a few months back fairly locally from it's original owner who used it to get about as an engineering apprentice back in 93. He lived in a beautiful and large home....estate? And had a huge appreciation for older items, his vespa collection was in the orangery...... very cool.

All was original bar the awful saddle and the additional 90s lights......now binned haha. Even the tyres are in great condition so going to give it a sympathetic restoration. I have a raleigh saddle, the shifters are buggered although I will try and get them going but may change them for 93 7 speed lx brifters. Chain and cassette will be cleaned and the chain didn't show much wear so could be used again I think.....

Been stripped ready for cleaning so as it is this evening.

Just stropped the original sti's I think they're just sticky and need some love and cleaning. I'll probably use the lx though. The handlebar and stem weights the same as a car so may swap for some alloy ones haha. Got some period zoom ones. Frames cleaned up well and I'll give it a quick polish tomorrow evening
