Nasty saddle had to be bought in a hurry when the original one got pinched. Same happened to the thumb shifters I think, so they aren't the original ones.
I'm going to go with a sprung Brooks saddle because I'm middle aged, and this bike is now for lazy cruising.
It needs a respray, but I really want to keep the decals, especially the head tube sticker.
I bought it new from Overbury's in Bristol. As far as I can remember it was £425, which was a fortune in birthday/christmas/pocketmoney/paperround saving up.
It's 531 All Terrain tubing, and was one of the first MTBs. Everyone at school had either road bikes or BMXs, and I got a lot of strange looks.
