Gt Tequesta '90 Nimbus Now sorted (new pics )

Picked this up from Gumtree the other day

It's complete and mostly original. It has its fair share of scratches which show up on the pale blue and white paintwork . I took the stem to Superdrug the other day and with my daughters help I picked up 3 bottles of nail varnish to use as touch up.

I've started sorting it out and hopefuly will be finished soon. Will be a cheap clean up and touch up job. I won't be buying and components.

Looks good, a back to front dart on the front and one on the rear :?

The Darts are perished. For the bin.

Shame, looks like a great project.

you sure? I've seen far worse on the trails

There's cracks between all the tread blocks right down to the canvas liner.
Might be alright trundling about the streets or paths.

Nice, deserves some tlc that does.

I would get some new bars if I were you those look very past it.

Sorted out the Tequesta. Just needed a good clean , a bit of t-cut and a touch up with 3 shades of nail polish selected from Superdrug with the help of my embarrased daughter ! Shiney bars have relaced the old rusty ones and a modern seat post qr has been put on as I didn't have a period correct one in the spares box.

I left the 2 front tyres on it and went out for a 26 mile ride yesterday which was a combination of on and off road. The perished tyres lasted the distance and there was no handling issues with a front tyre on the rear.
