Free (nearly) Recumbent!

[Rhythm Thief]

Anyone fancy a recumbent project? Yours in return for a donation to EnviroAbility.
I was given this a few years back and was full of noble ideas about getting it powdercoated and restoring it. However, what I actually did was strip it down, replace the horrid suspension forks with cheap rigid forks, get new suspension bushes and decals made, clean some of the bits, and buy bar end shifters to replace the <shudder> Gripshift things that were on it when I got it. Then I stuck it in the shed, where it stayed.
It's complete, other than it'll need a headset. The fork steerer tube will need cutting down and the thread will need extending, unless you have a pair of suitable forks. Other than that, it's a good base for a half decent recumbent.
I just need it out of the way. Turn up to my house in Ross on Wye, give me fifty quid for EnviroAbility and take it away with you.
