Believe it or not, that little horrid tag on the bb shell was for mounting a chain guard! It came on the bike when my mate first bought it brand new and complete in 91. The bike looked lovely then, with sparkly green paintwork, but over the years its been v v neglected. All the parts were beyond saving, apart from the crank and stem! So I ended up having it off my mate so I could give it a new lease of life. Its powdercoated, not painted, and the finish is nice!
