Thanks for the links. Will wait until weekend to give everything a going over, and the spares I have and make a list of what is needed...

Still reckon this is a 88 kf comp, like the one I had

Once you have it in hand have look for the original colour. Blue or green?

Re:

Arrived safe and spund.

Looks all exage. Chainset junk. Wheels are mix of araya rear and weimann front. Couldnt make out hubs. Cant get reaf wheel back in.. assuming its spaced for 130 rear? Didnt have time to measure.

Seatpost is a 27.0 too.. that seem right?

Stripping it down this weekend if I have time to assess it all and get a plan of action.

Re:

if its a 88 it will 126 oln at the back, at least mine was

should be 130mm spacing - 126mm is normally road

Indeed, i was very surprised to see mine measure up at 126

I actually checked to see if you could even get xt hubs in that size....you could

I also thought the back end might have been squeezed. it wasn't.

I guess if its 130 its 1989 for sure

Re:

Thanks all. Have two days away pondering now.

Least it stops me buying anything until I know for sure!

Re:

Went in the garage and thought i'd check it over properly.

Its got a hole and cracks in the seattube. Project dead.

Contacted seller via eBay but was bought for frame to build up.. so no value in rusty exage.

Gutted. Really gutted.

Re:

That doesn't look good. No chance of repair?

Re:

Maybe give Argos in Bristol a call? They should be able to advise on what's possible. Only downside - it won't be cheap.
