Just picked this up and am very happy to report it's ace and almost original, right down to the Mavic Oxygen rims that they seemed to fit to the LX Clockwork's in 89, but not others in the range.
Some of you may remember that I had a 21 inch 89 in the past (still on the site in mint, re-painted condition) and regretted selling it as they rarely come up in my size, especially in yellow/white so when I was offered this by ant55uk earlier this week I couldn't resist, even though I put myself on a retro buying ban!
Good news is that under the grime it's in better shape than my old one and I reckon it will clean up really well. I wanted an original to replicate my first Orange from bitd and this won't take too much work due to the parts already on it. Might go full LX, like my old one and have the parts in stock, will replace the saddle and fit Ground Controls. Not sure after that but will update!
