I was trying to hold back on posting about this but I'm almost wetting myself!! Ebay purchase Friday evening, collected Saturday and added a few components since relative to the bike. The seller was a really cool guy, loves his oldskool and had a good ole chinwagy but was unfortunatley selling up his last remaining items. Has a really good eye re attention to detail as well.

There are some very obvious clues as to what it is. There's a set of mint original decals which I bought about 4 years ago!, original seat clamp and viscount dynamax seat to fit, the frame colour is a custom lavender blue, it's much richer/darker in the flesh.

Quick adjust Tioga seat clamp, ktt pedals, sugino crank, tioga cd, generic white boot

Can you guess what it is yet!

superb resto'd sakae spin tech, really clever bit of kit, gotta figure how to set the brakes up!

6 spoke skyway bleached about 2 years ago, (rear is in process of being bleached), oddy barefeet, genuine spinner pegs

880 front and 750 rear (never seen one before, rare?)

Tech 77 levers, ame grips, jive donuts

not everyone's cuppa, painted sugino arms

Still have a way to go to complete but credit has to go to the previous owner,just absolutely love this build.

Paul

rear brake goes under chainstay paul,there should be a cable stop under bottom bracket -looks similar to the brake set up on a '87 gt performer (or on my '88 'beat)

Yeah got that Gary, not sure about the cabling and how it attaches to the 750, although I think something attaches to it to pull the 2 ends up. Will have a look

Ooooh nice, always fancied a Decade. Friend of mine had the mint green one BITD, I loved the way it looked!

Look forward to seeing the complete pictures!

cable goes through adjuster +then you want a cable hanger ,hooked on to straddle cable on the 760 like you have on a add990 setup ,

Jesus Paulie... how long was he in causality after you mugged him

£160 for that bundle is a steal.
