Okay. Long time forum member. Mainly a classifieds lurker (best to be honest.) Not even a Londoner any more. Never done a build thread.
I rescued this beauty from the tip yesterday.
It’s my size (55/55) it’s 2004, has brake mounts and mudguard eyelets so will make a fine winter hack. (Although in my head maybe one day it’ll get a full respray)
The seatpost actually came out with just a bit of muscle (and I don’t even really have muscles)
The bottom bracket was not giving an inch so I have taken it to Argos (now I’m back in Bristol.)
Needs the forks tracking, and they’ll get the BB out for me. Also supply a new seatclamp bolt.
Currently on about £100-£120 depending on how much of a pain the BB is to remove.
I’m back in london on a contract next year for a couple of days a week for a few months so will likely build it up ratty as I’ll be leaving it locked up for days on end.
