new project arrived
« on: June 07, 2014, 07:09 PM »
Picked this up this afternoon, completely original other than the seat. The tyres are shot to bits so will need to find some survivor replacements. The seat post was stuck and its been heated up to remove so has some blackening around the tube.  Its in a bit of a mess but I love it! The tuffs are spotless! Even has the original tuff pads. I've got an original seat and pad set on their way.

Rob, the back tyre would need replacing anyway as it looks like a 2.125 and ST's had a 1.75 on them as spec.  :daumenhoch:

Should do, need to be careful with the frame though as the original finish is peeling off in places and don't want to make it worst.

Cheers Dan, I'm on the look out  :daumenhoch:

Well at least you don't need to go to the gym for the next month.  :D

Be honest Rob, you didn't pick it up; you wheeled it along...
