If you're from Hull originally, did this bike come from Rob Winstanley?

Nope, I bought if from Roy at Star Bikes http://www.starbikes.net/, I was his Saturday lad for a while in 1988 / 1989. I had to save up to buy the original one. The one I have now I bought recently via Ebay. Loving every ride I have on it I have to admit.

I could be selling it. I suppose it will be about what I could get for it. I've not had a chance to look for similar sales yet. Make me an offer maybe?

Another vote for 88/89. In Gemany this design was exclusively sold in 1989

Thanks for the comment

I am convinced it's a '88 now thanks but looks like it's not worth much so I'll just keep riding and enjoying it
