Nice condition. Doesn't look like it got much use? Shades of the Mojave GP, eh Jem? Very nice looking GP |

But nonetheless, a fine looking bike. I'm guessing the weather in Rhode Island is not quite as good for bike storage as Mojave? |

Nice, I like it! Probably good that it is 2965 miles away. Someone should buy this nice bike.
Cheers
Jim

Mojave GP. Worth another look for those who came to party after the purchase. Enjoy!  DSCN0821 |

In the USA , when you see those reflectors in the spokes on both wheels, then you know you have a bike that is pretty much as it was when it came out of the shop. Were they law at the time or just good practise?

Were they law at the time or just good practise? Very much so, among many other “safety” items, the result of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. There was even a gauge to set the angle for the front and rear reflectors. Some of the regs made sense, a lot didn’t. Best, John “wheelson” |

Some of the regs made sense, a lot didn’t. Best, John “wheelson” Thanks for info John - and do you know roughly when it changed? The CPSC was established in 1972. A lot of emphasis on bikes and bike components during the early years such as reflectors everywhere, chain guards, elimination of sharp edges (front derailleur modifications) and the like. I left the shop in 1979, returning about 30 years later. Reflectors still appear on the bikes or in the box to be installed. Most mountain bikers and BMX guys pitch them. Chain guards are almost nonexistent. Best, John “wheelson” |
