£40 to a good home. Shimano Altus front and rear derailleurs, Tourney centre pull brakes; slightly rusty, not entirely straight front wheel and surprisingly nice Wolber alloy rear. Leather saddle, which I think is a Brooks "Viscount" with the writing rubbed off.
Battered top tube decals and plenty of scrapes. Always feels like it might break down, but actually never has. Even though it has a mossy green paint job, a rack and a touring related name, the back end is actually pretty short and it feels suprisingly snappy and racy in the saddle. Schizophrenic selection of gears, with four small fast cogs, and two big, spinny, hill climby cogs. I have carried out the bare minimum maintenance and you'll need to decide whether you're feeling lucky and are happy to take the same approach, or a bit more sensible. If you're on Strava, you can have a look at the stuff that the bike's been up to over the last few months.
Pick up from Scarborough, or I can bring it along to DFR III.
