Hiya, hardly poked my nose in here till earlier this week
Last time I had a road bike was in 1987 IIRC, it was a cheapo 5 speed small wheeled number, costing £30 out of the paper, paid for by my paper round, i typically used it like I used my BMX, i remember splitting my head open erm off roading on it at 11 year old!
MTBs ever since, till recent my MTB inspired Revolution Courier Race on big wheels and slicks. Tired of the rigid alu boneshaking frame I have been considering a new city solution recently, and then this came along as if by magic!
could be good for some retro fun.
i don't know a heck of a lot about road bikes. It looks pretty decent for its time, late 70s? early 80's? Altus gears (didn't realise it was a recycled name).
I've never been keen on drop bars and head up is wise round here, I reckon with some upturned bars like the charge slice http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/produ ... Slice_Bars and a few tweaks and maybe single speed, we could be in business. and for the sake of my slippy passage ways, maybe some cross tyres, or keep it road only and turn my Revo boneshaker into a 29er. hmm

pre wash ^ \/
looks like its had a few modern upgrades/stuff replaced. rear wheel is proper wobbly
Anyone know a lot about it?

I'm really liking it (looking at it!).
