It is with a heavy heart that I am testing the water with this baby

but the aquisition of a recent new house (which requires more than its fair share of tlc) and garage/shed already full of bikes I have to thin out the heard

As you will see it is in exceptional condition for its age - not factory fresh but a genuine low mileage example in (virtually) original spec.
I've not re-searched how Offroad meas.these so I'll give you the measurements (and how I arrived at them) and you can decide from there (I'm 5' 10" and as shot is a comfortable size for me)
centre of b/b to centre of top tube: 16"
centre of b/b to centre of seat stay tube: 18"
centre of b/b to top of seat tube: 20"
- Paintwork to frame is in lovely condition with the odd chip/scratch. The blue is lovely and deep.
The rear stays (silver) have been touched in and if I was being picky I might have had them powder coated but they are presentable as are.
- All components, wheels, mechs, brakes........ have seen absolutely minimal usage and are in superb condition, as befits a low mileage example.
- Unusually for the age the elastomers have not collapsed/split/turned to mush. Naturally they will have hardened with age and wont offer the performance intended but for originality they look the business!
I've just replaced all cables for stainless steel jobbies, so if you intend to push into use its all ready to roll!
I really don't have much more to say - please pour over the images and if you require anymore or have any questions drop me a line.
I'd like £150 for it, which I think is fair considering condition and the fact that less interesting bikes of the same age can reach these figures.
If you think I'm talking out of the top of my hat and the price is pie in the sky, do let me know

I can post, although, due to current workload I'd rather not - but again drop me a line and we could possibly work something out.
