• I got on with the fun bit and dismantled the thing tonight, with some help from a self-published Kindle book. Everything came apart weirdly easily, but the serial number probably explains why:

    This means it was built in November 1982, so right at the very end of the production run. So a combination of light use and being as young as they come is working out in my favour.

    Next challenge is getting the kickstand out - sounds like it needs a homemade tool of some sort

  • Youngs bike shop down in Elmers End/West Wickham is a sort of specialist Chopper shop - miserable git but has loads of them , parts and tools , and knowledge ….
