This had been lying around in a garage in california since about 1986 so the chrome is really nice-March 84 FS Stamped Performer Survivor frame and forks.
Arrived yesterday and this is it photographed straight out the box without a buff or polish.
To be honest it is in lovely condition and the picture don't really do it justice.
Going to be another simple build few little blue touches but not to much..looking forward to putting some time and effort into restoring this baby back to her former glory

Decals aren't too bad-seems a shame to tamper with them....little rust under platform and apart from that she is as solid as a rock

Deserves some time and effort this frameset should be a fun build.

Was listed on ebay had only been up for an hour so had a haggle with the seller from over the pond.
Good find with it being an early one and the drop outs are very good too.
