some more 'before' shots...

hopefully drop it off at the powder coaters tomorrow

:)
 
My mate still had the original crank tool - 16mm!
I remove the Zeus BB and tried a Shimano cartridge in there but the drive side just fell in, tried the Zeus again and it fitted. I cleaned it up and it's stamped with an 'O' for oversize I presume. So the Zeus chainset will be used in the build

For the colours, we've decided on school railings green/BRG with tan saddle and bar tape

:)
 
Sounds like the threads in the bottom bracket were damaged at some time and an oversize cup was fitted ( I used to work in a bike shop and we did it quite often ) ;)

The colours sound great :D
 
good luck with this, had one of these when I first joined a club as a boy. the brake callipers and rear mech look original, it's a long time since i've seen Reynolds 501
 
more satin than gloss but what do you want for £40! :D

I asked for BRG and think I got Borstal Railings Green :LOL:

I think it'll look cool as satin finish with shiny bits

:D
 
Looking good!

Brown bar tape to match the saddle?

I am rebuilding a 501 record sprint at the moment, good to see some 501 effort being put in!
