The bike is missing cable guides but I will work that out.
How big is it? It looks like a King of Mercia Touring model. By the sticker on the chain stay, it looks like it has been repainted. If you want to get rid of it after you get your Douglas, let me know. Loose screws has some really nice Campy clamp-on brake cable guides.
