Anyone know anything about them. I have a chance to pick one up quite cheaply. Are they any good? Any thing special to look out for?
Thanks

Lovely frame and rides quick. Look for cracks on the rear swing arm otherwise pretty robust.. does it have the brake mount or just discs as that will tell you what year it was?

^^ this. Check the swinging arm very, very carefully. With wear the back end wobbles sideways alarmingly.
