Looking good. Did you have the swinging arm checked for cracks and re brazed? Molten preservation do this, is this the same chap? @grantoury

The fork was in pretty good shape actually. The bike obviously didn’t have such a hard life. There weren’t any cracks apparent once I’d stripped the paint, but the rebrazing would have sorted any issues & also strengthens that area. The chap who does the work is Gary Hall, as recommended by Moulton Preservation.

Do you have an address for Gary Hall, was it expensive?

I’ve got an email address for him, but wouldn’t put it on the internet without his say so. If you have any problems getting hold of him, send me a message

It is looking really good. I'll be following a similar path with an 'attic find' I recently got off eBay. Could I ask your advice on powder coaters and what sort of cost it is?

Many thanks for the kind words.
My only experience is with Aurora Powder Coaters in Aldershot. I’ve had a few frames done by them and I think they are excellent. The cost for the frame, rear fork, front fork and rack came to £125, which I think is pretty competitive. They have a *lot* of work going through the shop so you can pretty much choose any palette colour you want, chuck in some sparkles, pearlescent effects etc.
Might be worth starting a thread asking for recommendations for somewhere local to you? I’d also figure out in advance how “fussy” you are in terms of the finish and state that upfront. If you want something which is 100% showroom perfect, it might involve a lot more time (& money) than something which is 99% perfect.
