I got this bike about 12 years ago for a family member, he's now 20 and 6 ft tall so it is no longer of any use! In the last 12 years it has had zero maintenance, nada. :roll: I've just slacked off the head and wheel bearings and added some grease, raised the stem, put some brake pads in and fixed a puncture. I'll be using it for a hack run-around for a week or two until I can get something that fits me.
Good bits:
stem and seat post not seized
Bad bits:
zero maintenance for 27 years
rear tyre perished
seat post cut short (the one in the pics I skimmed the end down to 26.4 mm on the lathe so I could ride it, why I didn't do the whole post I don't know :facepalm: )
rust, lots of it
saddle shot
bearings feel rough
I've not attempted to adjust the cup and cone BB, it has been in there a long time.....
This is being sold as for spares or repairs - it needs a full restoration.
£40 ono collect from Woking or I can bring it to Mountain Mayhem. I'm happy to swap for a 19 - 20" bike I can use as a hack.
