Syke, it's a UO8, and a particularly beat one at that. The main reason we value the UO model is not any inherent collectibilty, but rather it's fine ride. I say go for it. I've said these bikes make tremendous in city beaters, and nothing I've experienced in the last fifteen or so years of riding one has made me think otherwise.
Soon as I find a Sturmey S3X, it's going on a UO8.
