Ahh at last!
I used to race one of these back in '85 for a shop called Ivor J Clarke out in Harefield Middlesex. Same set up with the ARX forks, i think we got these down to 17lbs full built to take riders about 5ft 10 tall. Bit flexy but they always got to the first speed jump first,(not necessarily with me on it) How on earth did i fit on one of them
