Hi Midlife,

Yeah I got it new in about 1978-1980. It came with long silver mudguards and a dynamo. I did have a look on google and seen a similar one somewhere. I'll try and find it again and post it.

Hi Midlife,

The writing on the cross bar says Tourist. There is something else before that that I can't make ouit. There is also a number on the drop out which says G0580.
