Yeah that was a big factor in me buying it, i love smoked paint. Also it was under £90 with the full original spec. Hopefully it'll clean up nicely.
Plan is to spend as little as possible and use my parts bin, to do list will be:
- full clean and re-grease the headset
- replace canti's for v brakes
- Low riders and rack/basket
- replace saddle
- replace pedals (flats or SPD havent decided yet)
- sweepy bars with better grips
- sealed bb
and optionally
- 1x (depending on ratios and if my spare narrow wide fits)
- new rear wheel and swap out gears for a SLX long cage with trigger shifter 10 speed.
- New tyres; possibly Halo h-block, possibly twin rails, see what I can pinch.
- full clean and re-grease the headset

New functional project en-route with a hugh thanks to @snottyotter for helping it get to me.
Wont be changing too much but adding a few racks. It'll then go to live with my parents in Wales so I have something to ride there without having to battle with the bastards at Great Western to get my bike on their trains.
