Picked this up last night, thought it might be an Eighties model.
Seller was saying definitely Seventies but rear hub says '90
Don't think it'll be here long, but everything works and the chrome isn't too bad.
Colour coded everything reminds me of those chav bodykitted cars
Weird paintscheme as well, looks like different colour flecks over white. I thought it was just dirt but turns out it's a few different colours, don't know if it's original or not

I have a september 90 one
last year when i was a daft 14 yr old I had the mudguards and chainguard off it and rode it around doing no handies (got banned from cycling for a week when my mum saw me doing it at like 15 mph along the road. Bought it for £8 ata jumble sale. But all of my abusive use took its toll on it and i sheared the forks. but had them repaired, had a new bit welded on made of stainless steel, so if I bugger it again I must have superhuman strength. I have a wtp saddle witing to go on. then roll on the summer and let the crazyarse hotrodding begin!. :NICE BIKE:
