[delboy009]

Just paid £90 for this on Ebay !! Picked it up tonight as he was only 10 miles away

Did I do well guys or am I deluded into thinking this was a complete steal !!!

Wouldnae have paid more than £89.50 for that.......ye wuz robbed!

If its in good condition as it appears in the pics, then that's awright.........

 

[delboy009]

Tis in fairly good shape

Ti USE post, nice Syncros stem, some kind of unusual GB made red ano front hub !! I reckon its alright !! Will still be stripping and re-building it of course

I had a very similar 550 a long, long time ago. Rocker rear brake was an absolute pain to set up so I got a Magura on there. Brings back memories!

Lovely bike mate, I have an 852 as well, mines got full Dx and a Ti Flextem bar combo.
What are the elastomers like on yours? I've just fitted brand new ones to mine but they are so hard they dont move
Been told they will soften in the warmer weather though

I miss mine (CHRISSSS!).

Nice score. PF's dont seem to fetch the money they're worth :roll:

 

[chrisv40]

I wont ever part with it Pickle, still probably my favourite ride

The elastomers seem ok at first glance but ive noticed that there is a little bit of play when you lift the back end !! i.e As if the elastomers were a bit squashed and not taking up all the float !!

Need to have a good look in daylight. Apart from that it all looks pretty sweet
