This bike, which is of roughly 1989 vintage, has been subject to a full restoration over the last year. It has been rebuilt as a tourer and would suit somebody around 5' 8" to 5' 10" tall (M or F), with an adjustable stem giving flexibility of riding position.
With a steel Reynolds 531 frame and fork, it rides beautifully smoothly and handles perfectly. It would make a good light touring bike.
