I have a very similar one, but no gusset.

Mine was stickered very much like that yellow one, and is full cromo.

Very heavy, but not close to my 2 hip, that is heavy!!

I also did tis for a mate, he wanted a cheap, green pub bike!

again, labelled as a pro, full cromo.

Well stripped it, give it a clean and stuck a few parts on it.

Seatpost will have to go in the skip.
