Each picture a rusty chain or knackered elastomer story

quite surprised a bike shop would sell it in such a state!

Excuse me? :shock:

Au contraire Rodders...

I've seen a lot worse and the basics look OK, the paint looks good and the spec ain't to bad... Fifty quid buys you a new set of elastomers and a tenners worth of chain from CRC (along with a good clean) will make a nice usable Girvin'd Proflex for a good price...

I've noticed the prices of earlyish FS retro steeds is staedily increasing... it's made an appointment with my watchlist but I will be asking if it's got any rear end shonkiness...

Oh, and it needs a cassette as well!
