I’ve been looking for a green flite like that for ages

That’s lovely, really great colour and spec.

Are we looking at the same bike? Paint is in dreadful condition and the parts all look knackered. Full rebuild required in respray and new decals. And I would want to see the disc tab - if Chris didn’t do it I wouldn’t touch it

That’s what so great about this site, I thought it like a decent buy but a DeKerf fan has pointed out what’s wrong and what to check, cheers.

I guess one finger is just enough....oooh matron!

Just saying - it has top-tube guides for the rear hose that are painted in gold, and a triangular strengthened plate can just be seen for the rear caliper also painted in gold. If it was a lash-up job wouldn't the hose likely be taped/ zip-tied on?! I'm no expert whatsoever though
Other than some honest heel rub, to my peepers, the paint looks OK!

The brakes are obsolete anyway - chuck em in the bin

No such things as obsolete on RetroBike!

as TreaderSteve says, the disc mount can just be seen and looks authentic. Period correct components too... it has had a hard life though, and the surrounding environment isn't too delightful...
