@Clara jumped straight onto cleaning it up. Previous owner kept it in very good condition. The drivetrain was near perfect nick. The tires held air. The rear brake cable was seized.
The more she worked through it though, the more impressive the detail was.
Tange tubing with paw print details on top of the seat stays
Indexed thumbies
Sealed, buttery smooth hubs
Muddy Fox branded saddle, bars, grips
Fat mudguards from new
Sugino cranks and Suntour group
Proper shaped cantis (so rare on a mixte)
OG On Your Bike SE1 supplier sticker
The lights probably worked, but without those size D batteries, we shaved off 1kg.
After cleaning, and with a nice little re-purposing of v-brake-cable-router for the rear brake, it already looks great.
Yellow cable outer, fatter tires and the front basket are on the way.
