Old School Grand Master
I've decided to swap this out from Minty -
the matching wheel skewers i had with it were later on my wife's bike that was stolen (ParkPre, a sweet machine - the thieves broke the sign it was locked to by driving in to it!)
I plan to convert an m970 hub skewer to match the wheels
Owned since 95, one of the last surviving original components
Still have the original ti spring.
Signs of wear and use include FoC
£40 plus postage
