Picked this up last night after seeing it in the marketplace and eBay watch thread on here. I thought the £25 buy it now was more than fair and only 30mins away from me.
I’ve only had the chance to give it a brief once over but the seatpost moves freely and the paintwork is remarkably rust free - a lot of these have a lot of surface rust depending on what sort of use and storage they’ve been subjected to I guess.
The other plus is that it’s 100% original as far as I can tell - obviously the saddle will need to go but everything else should be ok after a clean and service.
Oh, and I lucked in on the size too, the photos looked promising and at 19” it should be perfect for me.
I’ll try and keep the thread updated as I work my way through it. The plan being to keep it original, just clean and serviced, I think it’s earned the few scuffs and scrapes on the paint over the last 30+ years.
