The suns out and I'm finally stuck at home without any real work so that feels like a very good reason to drag old metal bits and tools out of the garage and have a fettle. Life for me since I last prettied up a bike have been more than a little busy with work and home additions so apart from actually using some of my bikes working on them has pretty much non existent for a few months so it was nice to dive into the garage even if it took a good few hours to find where I'd put stuff.
First up in the bikes I'm going to tackle this year is a November 1956 Claud Butler Buccaneer, I thought this one was a Jubilee when I got it but Peachy correctly pointed out identity.
This one was originally gold with half chrome forks but ti had been badly over painted in black and the frame is in a generally poor state So first step get it broken down and ready to be prepped for paint.
