Build thread here including spec list: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=172939
I finished sorting her out this weekend so now she's ready to find a new home where she'll be ridden! Like the previous restore (and sale) everything is original or factory apart from the tyres, tubes and most of the cabling. There's a slight question mark over the headset and whether it's factory spec but it's certainly period correct.
Good stuff
She's in great condition, the vast majority of the paintwork and decals are top notch for a 21 year old machine that had led a pretty tough life. No dings, no dents.
No play in the BB; she runs smooth as.
Plenty of life left in the chain set.
Lots of life left in the rims and blocks.
So-so stuff
There is some minor chain suck (pictured below) but this has been treated and lacquered by my fair hands. The top tube decal / paintwork is a little rough (pictured below).
The spokes have seen better days; cosmetically "challenged" (see build thread).
Thanks to Suntours rather weak anodising (and that it's 21 years old) there is wear to the black parts as per the pics. Again this is just cosmetic.
It's missing the right crank cap - I'll source one before it's packed.
A lot of hours and replacement parts went into this build so I'd like it to go to a good rb home!
£200 including postage in the UK. If outside the UK a bit extra depending on location. Please PM - first come first served.
