Hello,
Saw this in the local charity shop and was blinded by the sweet neon paint and general retro-ness and bought it without thinking in a fit of "wow, that's cool."
Turns out it's heavy, the seatpost is seized (doesn't even have a bolt in) and the rear 7 speed LX brifter has been replaced with a borked 8 speed brifter.
On the plus side, the rest of the LX drivetrain and the FIR rims looks in good nick and apart from the 'upgraded' brifter everything else seems original. Also has a cool cobweb sticker and someone's tried to disguise it as a Pace.
Paid an embarrassing £75 for it three weeks ago (hey, it's pink and it was for charity), would be over the moon to get £50 for it if anyone fancies it. Collection only from Keighley.
