Hi to you all again. For those of you that had been following my Benotto rescue accounts :- here is another rescue in the throws of progress !!!
A few months ago I acquired a rather nice Steve Goff frame-set in a Metallic Royal Blue. It had been fettled with a file and needed some serious looking-at !!!
The previous owner had attempted to customise the frame and fit a 10spd cassette into a 9spd spacing by filing away some of the chain-stay. It ended up needing more than Polyfilla.
I took the frame to Steve Goff (11miles away in Skelmersdale) and had it repaired and the front derailleur braze-on removed.
The frame-set was the taken to C&G Finishes,Liverpool and given a new jacket in Flamboyant Blue with revised decals in a rather neat script style.
The before and after images are very very similar in colour but the Flamboyant Blue really does look stunning in sunlight.
The frame-set will be rebuilt with the chromed forks - leaving the original ones in-case of a later decision to sell-on.
Roll-on the better weather.
