cranks and shifters were tat, but i was really chuffed with how much useable stuff there is on it in pretty good condition. the pictures make the frame look a lot better than it is in real life so really does need a powdercoat, the diacompe stuff is good enough to leave as is, or would be very easy to touch up, or even strip and respray
the forks are original to the frame too im thinking, so not sure whats going on with the eyelets. the frame is very light too, so im a really happy bunny

Good find and well done for following your instinct on this one.
Any plans for it now you've pretty much proven its identity?

white powder coat on frame bars and stem, and then try and replicate the original blue colour on the headtube, with some decals from gil. i think she deserves to be made mint and kept totally original/period after all them years hiding her light under a bushel.
all i need now is a powder coaters i can trust.
anyone know anything about the rear block, it doesnt seem to be cassette or screw on, cant work out how it attaches or detaches :? :? :?

Good skills on getting this and for putting the effort in to restore it - its going to be a really rare beast when you've finished ad that early flexstem is
I think its a cassette that you need two chain whips to remove - the outer cog is threaded on to the cassette body so you unscrew that with one chain and react the rotation with the other chain on any of the other gears.
