So you join LFGSS a month ago, make a post about getting some information on the bike.
"Hello everyone! I am a guest posting here as I inherited a vintage mountain bike and, as I will be leaving the UK soon, want to identify the bike / its parts to prepare for selling it. I unfortunately don't know much about bikes so I appreciate any help! What I do know though is that it is apparently a very nice bike full with desirable parts that especially collectors might be interested in. "
Now you claim over the years you have invested hundreds into the brakes and shocks... yet the straddle wire on the brake is clearly old, the brake pads don't look new & i highly doubt the shocks have been touched. Looks like cable inners and outers have been replaced along with a quick wash.
Absolute chancer!
