Very nearly bought but already have too many projects.

I like that, sadly too big for Jo. An interesting project though.

If it was local I'd be tempted purely because it's such a oddity. £50 seems like a bargain.

It's home and appears better than expected... seatpost is free and greased, amazingly the stem came free and everything else looks like it's been serviced in the last few years. Only issues found are a cracked chain side plate and the stand won't stay stowed. Does anyone know how to remove / service one like this....?

The frame's cool - I just noted the 'BMX' style bottom bracket? Can that be upgraded/ watcha gonna do with it? Deserves some XTR hehehe

 

[Lucidone]

I think the upgrades will consist of a new chain, front tyre, grips some paint and lots of TLC - XTR, profile or Redline cranks need not apply!

Rides okay even with the danger chain!

Figured the stand out - twist and lift the noggin / pip / wheredatgo and the rest will follow..



Getting in back in when it's free though?

Just for fun the weight without the stand and frame lock (~1kg) is 14.7kg
