I have had another good look at the frame and unfortunately I think it is too far gone to rescue.
When I took it out of the cupboard LOADS of shards of rust came out of it which have been released since the BB and steerer have been removed.
I just can't be sure that it is completely safe and...
and stared at it while the poor wife was trying to talk to me, (not sure if its a replica but I will check next time I'm in there....)
amazing.
:shock:
Nice mate... Cheers for that.. I will be doing a new rear wheel for it in time so I presume that I will be able to make it SS specific???... But will still need the tensioner because of the frame design...?
