Been serviced twice since I have owned it (once before tour and once after) and was also well looked after by the elderly gentleman I purchased from. There is however a little rubbing marks on the frame between saddle and handlebars, it's pretty small and is purely cosmetic. Been stored in dry garage for its whole life.
