Hello all, & perhaps especially to our American cousins.
I've just acquired a Claud Butler Olympic Path, frame built in March 1949 I believe.
Now people who have seen my renovations know I consider most paint and especially chrome as just another consumable, but this one is different, this one might just need a more sympathetic hand as it’s got a great "Stars & Stripes" bespoke paint job, and although a little tardy, perhaps worth saving?
Help is required on two fronts;
1. Cunning techniques on how to clean the frame up stop the rust and not damage the paint.
2. Any possible history, perhaps this was commissioned by an American track rider?
