• No matter how I built it up, the thing is too darned small for me. So off it goes. It’s in decent shape for something 30 years old. Scrapes and scratches galore, but no dents.

    £40 collected from Tooting gets you:

    Frame and fork and fork (you get the fluo green converted to threadless, plus the original gloss pearl black one).

    Along with:
    1” threadless headset
    Marin Lite QR seat binder
    70mm stem
    Truvativ Hussefelt riser bar
    Avid levers
    no-name lime green grips
    Alivio v-brakes (no blocks)
    Sugino Mighty triple 175mm
    UN55 bottom bracket (new)
    DeoreXT rear derailleur (needs a bit of fettling).

    Notes:

    1. The star nut in the fork could do with replacing at some point.
    2. May have a seat post for it knocking around but it’s a 26.4mm, so not super hard to source.
