Thanks, I will raise my glass on you guys, however the bike stays inside at temperatures around 0°C - enjoy your summer while we "up here" suffer from the usual winter crap-weather.

Keep you good taste of bikes & drinks !

Now there's another cycle too pretty to be shoved in the back of a museum somewhere.

Low compression- It's been sitting for quite some time? I might try a few drops of oil down the clyinder bores and rechecking. Sometimes if they've been layed up for a long time, the cylinder walls get dry and the rings won't seal as nice as they should. Just a thought. Merry Christmas !!

Lovely looking bike, nice find: looks like it just rolled off the assembly line :woohoo:
As Kawboy John said, hopefully its just a case that the bores are dry and she will be a very easy fix.
Happy Christmas

Looks good. Soon enough you'll have her running like a top.
