REDUCED: Vintage / retro Road Bike - Sun Solo 1974 - £60 ono

[campbellchris]

Giving up on my restoration project! 😄  And clearing out the back garden/where the shed was.

This is a Sun Solo from, i believe 1974, that I rescued from a friend of a friend's garden about 8 years ago.  It's got new tyres (Schwalbe Marathons, puncture proof) and tubes and has been fully serviced a couple of times.  Stored outside under a tarp the last 2-3 years, so some rust spotting, but frame is generally solid as far as I can tell.  Seat is pretty done, but I have a brown leather one (a Selle italia knock-off style one) that I'll throw in if I can find it, since it was intended for this anyway.  

Rides fairly well, but do not expect modern bike stopping power from these old caliper brakes! I've done a few hundred miles on this bike in the time that i've had it, it's been quite dependable.   Should go to a home where it can get more love though.
