Hey man!
Well, I had a crack at making good the existing paint, and well it was not a successful venture... at all
So it's hanging about waiting until I can afford to send it off to the pros
- I lost impetus on this, got diverted and now I'm building an audio PA system... And adding to my guitar rig...
But I have sneakily bought some NOS parts for it in the meantime so it should be a nice build

Zombie thread time, but this is what an American weld can look like:
Hydorah, see what I mean? How is the restore coming along?

Oh my goodness, i havent had time to read the whole thread but those welds are hideous, if i was you i would take a file and some wet and dry to them welds, you should with time and effort be able to make them look almost fillet brazed smooth

I know you are joking but I think those welds look awful. I'd be filing them down too. :-D
I don't know why everyone gets so precious about a bike part that someone has decided to modify. In the grand scheme of engineered stuff, even the best bikes are pretty crudely assembled things, and going on about the beauty of a frameset just seems a bit daft.

OK Time to be honest with one's self!
This thing has been been sat around since I don't know when!
I have all the parts to put it together really well, maybe a tidier rear mech wouldn't go amiss...
But I really don't think I have any momentum on this project anymore
If anyone thinks they might want to take it on, PM me!
