Bought from
eBay for the princely sum of £51
* for a colleague, it was a little too big for her.
But just the right size for me
It appears never to have actually been ridden - the rims still have the anodising on them and the brake blocks were totally unworn. I think it has been serviced in the last year or two because it has newish tyres and the transmission is nicely, possibly over-lubed.
The frame has tiny spots of surface rust from storage, but nothing even vaguely worrying and it rides absolutely perfectly. The grips have split a little, but again, nothing worth worrying about.
I've slapped a cheap 'pooter, a B17, ATACs anna second hand Specialized rack on it and it's good to go. Voila - one indestructable classic nineties hardtail, all ready for riding out of TEOTWAWKI
**It's going to live in the bike bunker as my "go-to" bike. Every fortnight, it'll get the tyres pumped up and a quick check over. All ready for loading up with my bug out gear in case the balloon goes up.
Those 2" tyres take some bloody work, though!
