Man that's going to need some love, but It'll look the shiz resprayed in those colours, I'm sure some of the parts will clean up well too. Good luck with the build

Forgot to add this morn that it does look really cool a full resto would be awesome. Lovin the chainring/bump gaurd.

Thanks guys....

Not sure on the bump guard, the jury is still out. :?

Well, the frame is now completely stripped, and waiting for some gentle sand blasting. The only disaster is the stem was seized, and in freeing it i've managed to snap the brace on the forks clean in half! :roll: :evil:
Reckon it could be repaired, but they are air oil, and i suspect the seals are sh***ed, so easy come, easy go....

Could be sweet, looks like its been looking at the bottom of a canal for a few years at the moment.

Good luck with it, will be fantastic to see it all loved up.

Not quite, but close. Been used for the past 10 years or so for a roadie to ride backwards and forwards to work in Boscastle.

Its perfect as it is
