Been looking for one of these for a while - absolutely mint conditions apart from the AX Hoods

That is time warp beautiful, but why are they always so huge? I'm sure the qualification for being a keen cyclist last century was that you had to be a giant.

Re:

It was the fashion to fit everyone with the biggest frame they could possibly get a leg over. Particularly if the rider was young. 25" frames were the starting point for anyone over the age of about 9. "He'll grow into it" etc.

Re:

Thanks for all the good feedback. If anyone ever comes across a pair of AX hoods in 'blue' then please let me know as they are the only thing on the bike that isn't as mint as I would like it.
