Just picked this up… repainted in Paul Milnes colours as the seller and original owner was a sponsored rider for Freetown Cycles in Hull back in the day.

He has some pictures of him riding in the early 90s which he is going to send me.

Came with a mix of period Suntour, DX and Kona parts. No Track 2 fork sadly, the owner binned it back in the day as he thought it to heavy!

Serial number is T8911A other markings on the BB shell are 2869.

Anyone attempted a splatter resto on one of these?
