just picked this up from a car boot sale this morning for peanuts, worth the fiver i paid just for the useable bars and suntour stem, but im gonna resto it for my girlfriend to use to keep up with her brats down the park.
any ideas what it actually is? im presuming its a cheap catalogue bike such as emmelle or universal, but ya never know! frame has copied the aero reflex quite a bit, even similar triangle cut outs in the dropout areas and a very poorly stamped serial number!
any ideas guys?
