| Extra details | Pump pegs brazed under top tube. I bought the bike from its original owner who had it 'renovated' in the early 80's and fitted with cheap Japanese components. These have been sold and 'new' ones acquired more in period. It rides well and is surprisingly light considering the wheels etc. |
