Hey there and welcome to the forums!! :-)


I wrote a review on the F1 which I have loved since I was 12 years old....

Oh, and double check the steel frame for signs of cracking ... all you need to know here.

Hope it helps and inspires by showing you the way these bikes once were :-)

Best of luck and keep us all up to date on your restoration... a pictorial restoration would be really interesting if you so wish...

Take care :-)
