From £40 sad old bike to nice rideable classic in a couple of weeks. Decided not to re-paint, just cleaned & touched in the grey here & there. It's a bit patchy & showing it's age but then who isn't?
Forks & stem have been flattered by the camera, defo more faded orange than red. Wheels are DX/Araya RM400 pro off the Richter which has been split for parts. Original Wolbers are good but front needs a 276mm spoke which is proving hard to source & the LX hubs don't shine like DX!
Thumbies & SS5's replaced the DX Rapidfire. Love the wide profile brakes.
Anyway, if you're viewing this Prof F. I'd love some of your brilliant decals - I think just the "Eldridge" ones for top tube & the tiny "Marin" for the seatstay bridge which I stupidly peeled off when I thought I'd re-paint. PM me with a price if you're up for it please!
