  • Very nice!

  • Worth mentioning that there are no braze ons on the frame, all the derailleurs, shifters and cable guides are band ons, so clean frame for SS conversion!

  • ^That's not really worth mentioning, as anyone who thinks 'nice bike, I'll make it into a fixie', should be killed.

    'Tis a nice bike though, GLWS.

  • I think you should sell this to someone who is interested in keeping it as it is.

  • couldn't agree more @Dogs and @Jingle_Jangle

    I've put some lovely complete and 'correct' builds here over the years but it's not long before someone ask 'would you split' which I never do; you can always realise more that way but without sounding soft, it's a piece of cycling history...bang on for the period and very hard to find in such a great condition, so should stay that way ideally! :) Thanks for the best wishes, very appreciated...

  • Arf...
