thanks for the good feed back ,
my mate  bought it out of the local paper for £50 10 or more years ago , then it just was sat in his shed .
about a year ago i told him i'd get it ridable again ,
9 months  later  when he sore it he nearly laid an egg ;D.

Do you know anymore history about this bike, as it has quite a few similarities to the bike Eddie Fiola used when he came here in 84.

The forks, the 1pc crank, pedals, Power disc, stem, chainwheel.

Looks good now  8)

Must have been well used judging by the state of the chainring.  How cool would it be, if Eddie Fiola had used that bike at some point?  Bet Munners would love that :daumenhoch:
