I picked this up today with advice from Carl Barnett in2signs who also cracked the frame number. Its a september 1983 pro no 30 made that year Snav's input there lol so a huge thanks to Carl and a little thanks to Paul :4_17_5: The frame needs some rust removal but im hoping to save it. The suprising thing is the condition of the tuffs they should look well with a clean they are very white. The front has never seen a brake block anyway here are the pics...........pics are better than words :LolLolLolLol:
