Dont  know where I can find an 86 catalogue for reference?

Was thinking more brakes, seat and stem than anything.  Seen the 88 catalogue but not sure if some of the stuff is too late for an 85 (and rare)

I'm not waiting 50 years for the Skyway 'dogs lipstick' seat to come up  ;D

anything 85 on it would be great tbh
the skyway hotseats are tiny and i have sold all of mine as imo they look too small for the bikes

what colour is the f&f?

I think the 86 completes had Odyssey system 2000 brakes but could be wrong  :-\

The orange one looks sweet IMO - wouldn't work with purple wheels though, might look like a Costa build.   ;)  Doesn't have to be a full Ruffell replica as that could get expensive.
