I got this from a friend when he moved house, it was in quite a state so it was a project. I had planned to keep it as a winter bike but I have since rebuilt two other 26" hardtails with 11-speed and haven't even been able to ride after slipping two discs so it's time to let someone else get some enjoyment from this.
I actually nearly bought one of these Wangas before getting my KHS Alite2000, this one was originally bought by my friend's best friend but he moved to USA to work as a rocket scientist at JPL. Anyway, he used it while at Uni in London and sprayed it with some special stuff to make it look dirty/older and be less likely to get stolen. I've managed to clean some of this off but would require more time to finish the job.
