Zolatone frame degreased and cleaned up (what a difference that made!), fresh decals on down tube, Altus cranks removed to be replaced with vintage XTR, chill pills, onza pedals and new tyres. jobs a good'n.
Any helpful pointers would be much appreciated - it's not going to be a like for like rest job more of a homage to the bike I always wanted to own as a student but never did. A Saracen tufftrax had to do instead!
