Yeah, that's the one - same colours - funny oval front sprockets (I remember them as an innovation - for five minutes!) and the under-the-frame back brakes (also remember the general criticism that they would get clogged up more easily down there and were subseqently moved back up top - maybe...
Sorry, just noticed, repeated myself (another sign of old age), but yes, never set the world on fire but definitely nostalgic! And, it actually does run really nicely, smooth, quick enough, all the gears click into place nicely etc - well pleased!
Just bought a Palisades Trail from car boot sale - just like pictures above Exage red frame, black forks all decals intact a bit chipped here and there and some rust around but looks good with original running gear, brakes etc.
How do you date them? From the comments, guess 1988?
Interest is...
Just picked up a Palisades Trail, looks identical to the pictures above - car boot sale - good condition, chipped here and there and bits of rust, but rides well - interested in any other views and how to date it?
(I also have my original Bear Valley, the one with the shiny black paint, 1988...
Just bought an original version of one of these ata car boot sale, red frame (black forks) exage kit, original decals, everything as was, a little bit chipped here and there and bits of rust, but its like going back down memory alley! :D
