Wow…. I know is an old thread now put I think I have the same bike. It is an old 10 speed Focus. I got it second hand when I was in year 7 and have been riding it ever since.

Over the years I have had to replace the brake levers, the crank (the front chaining broke in half once!), pedals, saddle and saddle post. I haven’t replaced the brakes, friction levers on the frame, or the rear derailleur (not in picture as I took it off to clean) though that doesn’t mean they are original.

The main reason for my post is that this bike is a Focus, which from a quick wiki search was founded in 1992 so I’m not sure this bike would be from 1975 as earlier suggested. ‘Focus’ is painted on to the frame and a logo is on the front post.

Bike is in pretty bad condition, paint is severely nicked up and gears clunk horribly. It needs a good clean and probably a paint job.

Sorry for quality, the only camera I have is on my phone. I can take some more, higher resolution pics if there is any interest….
