Here's the story:
Picked up this bike yesterday intending to convert it to a single speed for my girlfriend. I was shocked to find how well it has been kept. One lady owner since new, (1988). All original apart from tyres and grips. Still rides beautifully and ALL the chrome is in pristine condition. Very slight pitting on one brake lever and rear wheel, but you would need to be using a microscope to see. **EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL MANUAL! **
I am now in two minds, as it doesn't feel right to rip it apart and potentially ruin it. I am putting it up here; if anyone seriously wants to take it and look after it, then I will let it go. PM me an offer. Cheers
Edit: The bike is in Cambridge, but can meet in London near Kings Cross or within reasonable distance
