Not being nosey
but presumably you got this for a song if the seller didn't know what it was?!
well not so much a song as the first line of a song. i would say i payed what the wheels are worth and got the rest free. best result in buying bikes in 35 years.

a bit more work sorted. a set of carbon engine covers. because. because they are carbon.
now the brakes had been robbed at some stage of this bike. and getting a set of 320s that fitted didnt happen unless i had a stroke of luck. i had that luck and hit on a set of 320 narrow track PFMs with the correct stud pattern for the dymags.. but that trew up the problem of calipers.
complete pain in my **** and wallet.
then along came a set of Brembo radial mount calipers and for these forks thats focking horse ****... still to finish of fitting but beer time..
thats it for another episode...
