Dirt Disciple
This lovely machine has been rebuilt this year by my daughter as a school project (with some help from her dad and his cheque book!). The project started with a complete but scruffy bike off ebay. Bent wheel, surface rust but excellent bearings. Everything stripped down to individual components. Soft sand blasted, new transfers, lacquer coat, helicopter tape, change to flats but date matching levers found etc etc etc. Managed to find matching front wheel on ebay so as to have the rear wheel rebuilt with perfect match rim/hub front to back.
The bike model was on the market for the 1977 Silver Jubilee and the early ones (as this bike) had a proper head badge, Campy dropouts, more curved lugs and silver(ish) colour when compared with the Majestiques in the 1980s (which included gold - strangely). Although this rebuild was in 2012 (HM Gold Jubilee) she decided on VW Glacier Blue.
Now it is too nice to ride in Cycle Theft City (Cambridge). Do any of you good people have advice about insurance valuations for bikes?
