That's one fine gentleman's bicycle. Ride it to go get a 'spot of tea' :mrgreen:

Enjoy it!

Cheers,

I would throw a Brooks on there, seat isn't original.

Nice find John!I've got a '77 in hardly used condition,much like yours.If yours had the original Brooks b72,I'd have to look in my living room to see if mine was still there!Great bike.Enjoy!

A Brooks will be on there after I get my Christmas shopping done. I am 5'8" and ride it as it is in the picture, standover height is a little closer to the homies than I care for but the ride is worth it.
