Mudguards off (keeping the colour coded reflectors for now) and new tube on the front (tyre perished but better than nothing), fitted karma rear wheel & shed find tyre. Replaced skewers with some tidy joytech ones from the parts bin, which look right, rear was missing and original front was well rusty.
Gave it a wash. Sadly the decals have completely had it, came off with soapy water so just not worth saving. I’ve so far resisted the temptation to completely remove them all.
All I really need to get it ridable at this stage is a cassette. Got plenty of chains, sure I can find a functional saddle, and amazingly although the cables are all old looking everything seems to be working pretty well.
I like it!
