Yes, it's a 2nd gen Harry Leary (84/85 model), the seller mentions that the Viper decals are not correct.  :)

 :coolsmiley:

cheers Sparky, well you learn something new everyday, i've had 3 turbos and none looked like this, never seen a 2nd gen before,

must admit i got bored with the long description, so missed the bit about the vipers being incorrect,

No worries fella,

The second gen had small gussett and no box section. :daumenhoch:

Also, the spec was slightly changed, Suntour XCII pedals with the addition of weinman adjusters to the 890's (also seen on some later Gen 1's) and Comp III as oppose to Diamond Back Comp II

I hope to cove the Gen 2 in a little more detail on mt site, time permitting.

There's nothing like an autobiog ebay description to read. :LolLolLolLol:
