August 19, 201113 yr Author Brilliant find Dave, had it been altered much at all? Looking forward to see your project of it, and if I can help any, gizza shout, may seek pointers and tips myself poor thing had been used as a field bike so it was neglected,battered and abused.... didn't look like it had any tlc since i rebuilt it last worst of all,some egit had lopped the last 3 inches off the back of the frame to fit an aftermaket yz rear mudguard... lots to be getting on with lol
