comments: One owner from new (me!).Given to me for birthday in April 1982. Loved and cheirshed, other bikes came and went but its dusty existence continued. Sadly lugged it round with me from county to county and house move to house move. One day the wife's patience will run out!

Gavin Ford. (gavinford@automotive-technik.com) on Monday, March 29, 2004 at 17:39:32 - model: MK 1. - hubdate: 72 1. - framenumber: 1405*** - wherenumber: dropout - colour: Horizon Blue - location: Cheam, Surrey. - Description: Total basket case which most people would have broken & sold as spares. Bought it from my local dump as a restoration project ( 21.06.03 ), which is a complete ball bearing upwards rebuild. Everything has been stripped out & Frame shot blasted. Original paint colour has been computer matched & manufactured, new components made & sourced via doner bikes. - comments: This is my first restoration project ( too much for most )so I am taking my time as I do not want to spolit it, so attention to detail is paramount. Any help / advise would be appreciated.
Looking for a sensibly priced MK2 for my daughters to share ( under supervision )
