Quite cool.

Stuck seat-post, but there can't be much left in there?! I'd get it out

Bit of a bargain for £75

I looked at the post title and thought it was a telly or a record player, quite a surprise.
Shows more about my ignorance of what I don't know about what I don't know.

I bought this last week, already stripped ready to be rebuilt. Seatpost was very stuck, although it’s out now. Stem was frozen even worse, actually the worst one I’ve had.
Some parts coming, will be put back to as original as possible.
Front shifter had be changed to a later stx, but have managed to locate a full bar, stem grips and NOS exage shifters and thumbies.
Lots of cleaning and maintenance to come

Nice. I still want a u-brake MTB - they look cool.
Is that Exage originally?

Are you painting the frame?

Yes it’s all Exage originally. The replacements I’ve got are the same Exage 450.

No, the paint is in pretty good shape, just needs a really good polish and touch up in a few places. I prefer a survivor style tbh

To think, my Panasonic branded shimano mech was mocked
