Nice looking bike that, chrome is in excellent nick :daumenhoch:

Thats a great frame. Here in Australia they were known as a 'Repco Hotfoot' instead of a Giant.

Hi all

Thanks for the help. The frame and forks do look pretty much the same as the Repco (which is a full chro - mo F & F) apart from the Repco did not have as high spec components as this Giant.

I have also found out about the hubs. They are Sunshine and the rear is flip flop, and dated 82. So on the data from the hubs and the frame number I reckon that it's worthy of a new seat and a set of grips and then a hack around a track.

I have not touched it so far, but reckon with a couple of dozen hours (full strip and polish as always) it will be perfect.

The wheels and hubs are like new, the frame has NO rust, the bars just need a polish and the whole thing feels right and well built.

I'm pretty chuffed with this find.

Off tonight to get another 84 Master and maybe Profile's too (champ pro?), it's been a good week.

 ;)
