These shifter/levers which I think are 90/91 LX?
Not a lot I doubt mate, had some before I couldn't give away - £10 or so I guess?

I'm brand new to all this, but hoping to start getting involved in bike restoration and any words of advice would be very much appreciated! I have recently acquired this 'Halfords Competitor Mk5' retro racing bike and to be honest I don't even know where to start- I brought it to a place called Evans cycles down the road-they were excited by the bike, telling me it was a rare find-I wonder if anyone on here knows anything more about this model as I haven't been able to find much online at all!
Any Info at all would be great!
Thanks!

OEM equipment : Frame, Project Two forks, alivio rear mech
Back in the day bits: Girvin Flexstem, Dave's Chain Device (DCD) , tektro cantis with matching brake boosters, Araya rims.
Modern bits: lizard skins lock ons, shimano Revo shifters, charge hi riser bar, FSA 48-36-28 crank set, Avid brake levers, all new cables, Whyte saddle, Cane creek thud buster seatpost (this will be sold separately) I'll fit a standard seat post.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
£120-140.
Value is nearly all in the frame and forks.

I bought a 93 Fire Mountain for £23 on ebay last year. It was completely original, needed a good clean up and possibly a new lick of paint. I gave it away in return for some wheels being built for me.
