  • New steel track cog
  • New chain with quick connector for easy cleaning
  • Compact crank 165mm(110 BCD)

    Hey I've got exactly the same bike here in Brisbane Australia - just getting it sorted out - i've had it since 1987 and did some great touring on it in Tasmania - really looking forward to getting back out there on it again very soon

    cheers Greg
