Bought this a year ago, spares or repairs, bodywork damage, heavy rusting all over, hadn't ran in a year, over 50,000k on the clock. £150.

I am foolish, but I am determined so a year later, after top end rebuild, a load of powdercoating, stainless steel bits n bobs, a wee bit of performance tweeking (still undergoing) she runs, starts first time everytime, needs a good run still to clear the cobwebs but to say it's my first real over haul she pulls like the clappers Smile

Hope you guys like her

Can't really see the bike, there seems to be a limp art student draped over it.

To be fair, it's not up to his usual standards.

I am a big fan of the GN series. Simple, comfy, cheap and economical. Glad to hear you're enjoying yours.

As above, if you were to scrape the leftover mong from the seat, we might be able to see what it looks like.
