This popped up today, and i just couldn't resist. My era, my size and my kinda money.
Now ive got her home, im in two minds as what to do!
Its actually far more original than i was expecting, only missing the rear wheel (sadly replaced not long ago with a mavic 317 as the hub went pop), the pedals and the tyres.
Decals are long gone, except the shop one.....a place i remember well from my youth.
My plan was to buy it for the proper sized frame (24" seat tube anybody), and rebuild it as an all road tourer with a selection of parts, but now im starting to wonder if it might be nicer to put it back how it was/is.
Frame needs a bit of investigation, that might help the decision.
Beer, sofa, thought, needed.
