Just picked it up, it's all a bit stiff and squeaky. It's been sat for a while by the feels of things. Got it for 700, so not much off, got a rack and manual thrown in so that's worth a bit more. I have to say riding it took me back 18 years in a split second.

Great news Just a quick pointer if you're planning on using her as a rolling restoration - if she's been stood for a while, make sure your first investment is on new tyres front and rear (including inner tubes if fitted). They're not expensive, and it's not worth the risk of binning it due to worn/cracked/hard/flat-spotted rubber |

They are a good bunch at the shop, I worked there for a year a while ago. Its always been a family business and it shows.
Luckily the Missus is at work tomorrow so first job is to sort the headlight wiring, and maybe the cables. I bought some new ones for the project so might as well put them on the good one.

Luckily the Missus is at work tomorrow It's always easier when they're out of the way, not pestering as to how long you're gonna be, or else the old classic of "have you seen what time it is?"... |
