I did concider whether it might have been stolen but it's clearly been abused for some time. Tyres, rear brake cable and bar tape are all worn through, front brake was slack as hell and the brooks saddle was so loose the pin had popped out the front. Don't think anyonewould have bothered to steal it. Also the chain was stuck in between the bottom bracket and the inner chain ring. I'm guessing that was when the previous owner said fuck it and dumped it.
Gonna get it coated, pollish every bit to within an inch of its life, replace all the cables etc. Don't know that i'll be doing any long distance touring on it but It'll be nice to have something for rides where the terrain is just a bit rough for the road bike.
