[ety935rs]

That's my last arrival... from Florida ! ;-) (I live in Brussels)
It arrived this Wednesday, but it's so well packed that it's gonna take me at lesat 1h to unpack it. I'm gonnna do it this Saturday... and then show you It's a blue with white decals SM500.
The only parts that are not original are the saddle, the pedals and the tyres.
I already have them all:
1. The saddle is a NOS white Turbo that comes from the UK
2. The pedals are Suntour XC Pro that comes from Australia :!:
3. I have old tyres from 88

I'm gonna post pics on Saturday...

Am I right in thinking this was on eBay recently?

I look forward to Saturday. Although I'm not sure I could wait that long before ripping into the packaging!

Here we go

So, here is how it is now, I've unpacked it: first step ;-)
The state of all the parts is actually good; the only thing is that frame and fork are a little bit scratched (normal for a almost 30 years old frame) and the parts are a little bit corroded/ dull.

I'm gonna clean all the parts and remove rust with "Safest Rust Remover" http://www.safestrustremover.com/.
I'm gonna paint the frame/fork/handlebar and stem. I'v already ordered the decals

Here are the pics of the bike now:

To be continued...

If you are painting the frame then Ford Engine Blue is an almost exact match. I have the 88 version of this bike
