I got a decal set for that.

i could use that! pm me

he just gave it to me coz i said i would sort it for him, ready to ride when we go to southsea
it needs new wheels, chain, grips etc. i have to give it back  :-[

he said it originally had alloys on but he wanted mags like everyone else. he binned the original wheels a long time ago

its been sat in his parents garage for over 20 years.

he wont sell it to me either. he was on the brink of taking 100 quid for it a few weeks ago, but decided not to.

any idea what model it may be?
i'll get some better pics later

LOL, no shit!




Mega sweet though, you did yourself proud there.

its a shame he wont sell it
so i guess the next best thing would be to get the fun out of cleaning up

he told me i could keep the wheels.

does anyone need a set of black simplex mags?

Frame looks like it's a true 82/3 Nora but the forks don't look quite right. Still very nice though.

forks are what came on it

the owner only changed the wheels. its sat in his garage since 1985

The forks look like the later ones. Do they have slanted bottom (like LG's) with GT stamped in the end and the dropouts are like the later performer type?  If so, they are the later ones. Ad
Title: Re: a mate just gave me this:
Post by: theRuler on April 15, 2006, 11:57 AM
the forks have flat bottoms, with no stamps.
i'll get some better pics up in a bit
any idea what year and model this is?
