Very very nice Rufus, quite a sought after little thing. Shame the HD`s gone though  :(

Neat, it's so long since I last saw one of these.  Are you on anything for your arthritis, my wife has been on meds for hers for years, they work quite well but she still struggles if she has to ride far. MInd you so do I for other reasons so we fit together well there.

Great little bike you got there. Will definitely get you where you want to go on the trails and nice and light when you have to pick it up (we all have to) . Some of the classic boys might not like you getting it dirty but that's what it was built for , you may want to change the gearing if your going any distance on the road .
All the best Mark

Nobody told me Dulux had run out of paint. Yes I did paint several 'classics' back in the day with a brush and household gloss.
