Some may remember this from eBay a couple of years ago. I understand that rare doesn't always equal desirable but, in my opinion, this one isn't without it's charms. I have no idea of the history behind it but it seems to be a cut above most other promotional bikes from back in the day.....if that's what it is.
I've come to terms with the fact that I have far too many projects on the go so would like this to find a new home. I believe I could capitalise by breaking it for parts but would rather let it go as is, if possible. The rear end appears to be chromed under the flaking paint. It'll need a service and possibly a new cable or two; new tyres wouldn't go amiss either. I took it offroad a couple of times before storing it and it performed well, without issue.
17" frame with pretty much full XT (pedals too I think but not sure about headset), RM400 rims I believe and Turbo Special saddle. The bike isn't with me at present so it may take a few days if someone needs any questions answering

Asking £150 plus postage.

I shall probably split this if it hasn’t sold by Christmas. The frameset with original stem, bar and post will stay together.
 
Re:

hi Adrian
i can remember picking this up for you and posting it on to you... i also remember the story behind it and how it came over here....
i picked it up from just outside Leicester if im right... the guy who you won it from was a former pre super bike racer who was away on the day of pick up commentating on a super bike race of some sort....His wife was on hand to give me the bike and she told me it was a gift from a sponsor whilst he was away in japan in his bike racing days....hope this adds to the story and the sale

have a nice xmas mate :xmas-big-grin: :xmas-big-grin: rich

Thanks for the info Rich :)

So, splitsville it is I’m afraid. Watch this space for individual prices
