parts all have been sitting around doing nowt or karma

It needs a polish and needs new elastomers in the fork which I already have

It will have various different anno on it not by design but because when I built bikes as a teenager my saturday job only allowed me to buy odds and ends and not to buy everything matching......

if you get the desire to sell the frame..drop me an email, I just got n.o.s of the original rockstar forks and stem, which are redundant to me unless I can find a frame...

Headtube has a very small crack,....I drilled it to stop it and it is now fine and barely visible......

That is why it is a parts bin special.......

I will see what it rides like first anyway mate.....

These may or may not be the right colour but they are the right brakes I am sure and at a very reasonable price I think.
