Hi,
Very much green to this so excuse my ignorance.
Found an old Roy Swinnerton road bike in my Dad's garage that he bought years ago.
There's Leslie West written on the top tube which after some googling is pretty interesting given his pedigree.
My original plan was to respray and restore to rideable. The respray bit seems a shame now given the old owner and his scrawlings but would love it to be pretty again.
Anyway, where do I start? I'm pretty handy round a new bike but this is rather daunting. Any recommendations on people that restore or where to start/learn myself?
I'll attach some photos. Wheels are obvs not original but do have them somewhere.
Thanks for any advice.
