Hi folks,
I used to work in Youngs in the late '80s & early '90s.
The ending '84 does indeed mean the frame was built in that year; however we used to have a few frames built and then they'd sit in the shop until they sold.
I remember this frame colour scheme, we had three on a rack, no doubt this was one of them - I quite possibly built it, including the wheels!
Handlebar wrapping was probably done by Paul Snell if it's still on their after >20 years, he's now associated with a bike shop in Birmingham.
I'm in Brighton now, I still have a few old Youngs transfers & a head-tube badge. (not for sale!)
I hope you / your neighbour looks after the bike, they were really nice & built with love 'by cyclists for cyclists' :-)
