I know very little about this frame. Any info gratefully received. It had at least 3 different colour schemes at one point or another, and other than the lugs and general layout, I know nothing. Help !

I'm Longwell Green.

Tried again. Let me know. Rob

Did my pm work?

In the metaphorical skip that is..the 'recycled' shop in Bath where they do some restoring.

I'm in Bristol. If you want them please either collect or I'll post them out. All I ask is for a modest donation to my forthcoming event in the summer. http://www.action.org.uk/sponsor/halljordanhall that's me on the right. Cheers Rob. They are Sachs huret bits. Pedals say sp100. Rear cluster...

Was at the tip today, stopped a bloke chucking this in the scrap, but only momentarily. They wouldn't save it for me because I couldn't get it in the car and I needed to pick my kids up from school. Tell me it was actually scrap and not some vintage barn find worth a fortune!!!

superstars - many thanks.

Got adobe photoshop and illustrator. And a printer. Now what do I do? Special printer vinyl/decal paper etc?
