I really like these and have missed out on a few over the years. This one is miles away from me. Cool project for someone though.

I wonder what year it is? My Wildcat didn’t have that style stem, it had what they referred to as a Swan neck stem. I do remember mine having 531 fork blades but the rest was different. 501? 500?
It had a full Exage Trail groupset as well.

I've had two now! Great bikes, proper gates. That stem is a sakae mts100 I think? Looks slightly early for the bike. They were produced 1986-88 roughly. 531 fork 500 mains.

Just realised this one is 531 in fork and frame too
