£1500 and its yours . Good milage and loads of extras

1500 is well out of my budget I'm afraid, and the one I'm going to check out tomorrow costs less than half that. This is also part of a downgrade for now, so a cheap run around is what the sv would be.

don't be worried too much if the forks (stanchions (i think that's how you spell it!), that is) are quite badly pitted, this is very common and can easily be but right some loy blocks and tlc

Thanks Chris, I'm aware of this issue, but looking at the photos and it doesn't look too bad.

Well I'm seeing it this afternoon, so whether I buy it or not, I'll be taking lots of photos to show everyone on here.
