Not sure re age it's got some patina and a mixture of bits is arabesque mechanisms operated by one campag and one suntour powershifter but nothing that cat be sorted.

Quite a difference in sizes by the look of it? Did the guy put on a late growth spurt?

I like the gear ratios! Other cyclists used to rip the wotsits out of me for having a 25 sprocket. In Devon!

This was a last ditch effort of trying to re kindle his cycling by going up a frame size !!

They look a bit more practical for everyday use with a 24
