Worst paint on any bike I have ever owned, fell off in large flakes everytime I just looked at it let alone used it.
Also had a sort of chain device or something a bit odd round the BB/Front mech area, but just can't remember exactly what.
You can see i was fond of that bike can't you
Found a pic of my old O2, picture is crap, those were the days of the 1.1mp camera. Think it shows enough though to compare and does look very similar.
