OK, good to know, I will be giving it a good clean up, apparently its never been ridden, and looking at the tyres and the cassette i can believe that

Just picked this up for £30, needs a bit of a clean up, I am guessing its around the late 80s mark, any ideas? I don't know much about Elswick

I have heard that dyna-tech are not that good, is this a malicious rumor or is there any truth in it ?

What needs to be done to this?

I will just hang on and see if it sells, if not I will offer £350 again, the closer we get to christmas the more the price may drop, I am not desperate for a bike, I currenly have about 8 in the house, but its just so shiny 8)

I want these but dont have a frame to put them on, just waiting to see if my mate will sell me his merlin XLM

A nate has offered me an XLM frame so I might put the money towards building that instead. The one for £345 seems pricey too and has not sold yet.

What part of devon are you in?

I am tempted I have to say 8)

I offered 350 but he has come back with 400. I think 350 is top money, that's why I am still procrastinating about it

Still can't make my mind, up, should I buy it or not! Its offered at £400

Still no rely from him

I think the bar ends can go and the stem should be a velocity, but its screaming out for a ringle bottle cage in purple

I like the purple chain idea, not sure about the tyres though. :shock:

I have been drooling over all the bikes I used to dream about as a young teen in the 90s. I may have just gone and bought a very tidy looking Kona Kilauea, SWMBO will not be happy Not mine yet, but seriously thinking about it :facepalm: N+1 and all that :shock:

Re: 1990 Klein Top Gun Restore Love that, looks amazing

You sir are a legend, that's the one, :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I am aware that primer was not the best but it was all I had and was better than the bare metal (patchy) that was on it when I got it, and it has been stored inside ever since 8) Its it worth doing a resto on? I remeber...

I will get one over the weekend and post it, I was hopng it would be a name that sprang to mind, as soon as its mentioned I will know. Its an ultra something but for the life of me I cant remember, I had plans to restore it as it had seen better days so it has a rough coat of primer on to keep...
