and you can't argue with the price paid ......zilch so you're on a plus , i'd just clean it up and put some new grips and chain on and you've got a nice looking cheap useable bike  :daumenhoch:

front brakes on race bikes belong in the 80s - and even then that was a daft idea

Now, now, in the 80's most tracks had rubbish berms and BMX bikes had rubbish brakes so having two could be quite handy, especially in the wet   :P

Nice find.
