I thought these were meant to be in black?

Yeah, black in the catalogue.
Who knows? Bike looks legit, DX components are of that year, looks like a smallish frame.

I like the cut of that and it's looking my size as well....despite it saying large.
A lot of money though for what it is.

I missed one of these on e-bay last month, in black and all its original kit, 10 miles from my work. It went for £50, just as the wi-fi connection on my phone dropped out.... more than a few expletives were heard and it was all I could do to not chuck my phone down the street! :facepalm: but £310? Nah!! Not even for a CB fetishising freak like me...

Way overpriced imo.

 

[Hotwheels.]

Nice, too small though.

So this started at £310, and then dropped bit by bit till it got down to £190. with an offer option..... so I thought rude not to and threw in a very low ball (the kind you should only do when wearing a mask ) and hey presto... Looks like our Jim has got himself a Cape Wrath! :roll:

Nice one

Good to hear the seller is open to sensible offers, as looking at his other listings his opening prices are a tad ambitious.....£85 for a ratty m900 crankset anyone? :shock:

Well done. If you don't ask then you'll never know.
Great to see there will be another Claud being refurbed soon

Hopefully this will be a quick wipe down & service, pop a pair of ‘Farmer Johns Nephew’ tyres on (that I didn’t even know I had :facepalm then let Jimmy loose on the trails!
Oh, and of course keep an eye out for an original saddle.....
