Decal removed, thought it may have been hiding something nasty ...thankfully not.

Eeee by eck. I saw this up for sale and was tempted. 20" right? I considered it, as mine is too small, but mine is mine and I've had it 25 years.
Looks reet that though. Wish I'd kept original green as it's lovely, but needed new dropout repair so I just went for it with a full respray.
Excited to see the result
