It needs a bit of work - rust spots, buckled rear wheel, knackered cables, sun faded in places, barely working gripshifts, dead saddle and scratched seatpost. Think it's lived outside for a bit. However it's got a carbon fibre handlebar, XT levers (minus pods? wonder if any other shimano models will fit?) and a new rear changer.
I think it's still great for 31.50! And he was a nice bloke.
It's going to get fettled soonish but not to showroom standards - just get it going in the first instance - love it really.
Ooo it's a bit heavy at the back!

Soaked through!
Great job - how bad were the rust spots?
I don't think I'll need to expend as much energy as you have to get her going again - famous last words
How do you find the 'u' brake works - like a 'V' or better?
