Post by: jon foz on October 06, 2007, 04:21 PM: I could be persuaded Craig ;)but to be honest I think because its the oldest of the bikes I have so far I have a soft spot for it :smitten: :smitten:

Post by: se on October 07, 2007, 11:52 AM: That is a lovely bike, top build. :smitten:

Jon I think your stickers are the right ones, I've got this very late 70s one and the original stickers are on it (except the forks).
