Hi all

Just had a quick look at it tonight.

It is really in very good condition and I doubt if it has ever been ridden much. The post is a cut off Uni Pro 14 (that came out with ease ;) ) and the wheels are metal (coated black). The front hub is tiny and made in W Germany with a U logo and the rear is a Shimano coaster which looks pretty old (Serial CB - E110), the seat clamp is a hinged Dia Compe MX. (Any one know if these hubs / spindles are of use?)

I also thought that the bars might be Formula 1 but the sticker ends after the 'a', were there any other Formula models?

Also, any help on the tyres? They are good condition "Cheng Shin Tire 20 x 2.00" and have nice logo's with grey walls and black tread, are they snakebellies?

I am after some help on the forks though, if possible. I removed the rear wheel with ease and was very pleased with the condition of the dropouts (totally mint  :)) and put on an Araya so that I can push it in and out as required and then proceeded to the front. This also came off easily and the dropouts are perfect. However the width of the forks gap is smaller than the spindle on the front of the Araya (with a spidle that has stamped i l). I then got an Araya aero with Suzue hub and that is also too wide for the gap. I did not want to open up the gap or scratch anything, so have straightened the original wheel and put that back on for now (so I can roll the bike in and out), but is this normal for TA forks that the gap is smaller than the hole where the spindle sits? What do you do? Open up the gap etc or use different hubs?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

J.
