Title: 1983 national pro
Post by: rooski on October 21, 2009, 10:43 PM

A bit about this bikes history...
was my mates ,then my brother bought it around 85,my sister bought it of him around 88 and i swapped it for my cali in 89! :D.
 i have tried to keep as many of the original bits as i could, and have done nothing with the f+f except new stickers for the forks.
Its had a fair bit of use as you can see from the "patina" of the frame ,this can only be achieved by years of carefree riding. :LolLolLolLol:
 the bars, pedals and headset were off the cali,then the rest of it is a mix of rooski parts,and old stock stuff. have padset as well :smitten:
i like the balance of the parts ,just what i wanted bitd. :)
