I have had an eye on this for a while as it was only 25 miles away but prefer a project rather than something this nice but wanted to try a SA dynohub which not only does this have but some newer LED lights to go with it.
I cannot find anything on this model, it does seem to be a 3 speed specific frame so I presume it is at least fairly original although with some upgrades. The hub is dated 75 and I think it has had a resent respray although the seller thought it had just been well looked after, either way a nice bike for the money.
It will get a strip down and re-grease and my usual lower gearing/higher handlebars conversion, at 14.5kg it is not exactly light but I might save some weight with a few aluminium parts.
If anyone knows more about this particular model I would be interested to hear, Mr. Google does not seem to reveal much but I will keep looking.
