Well think I'm getting to be a hoarder this year the keepie bikes are out weighing the 1s for sale.well having a few unfinished projects to do but can't finish as need to sell a couple of my other bikes to finish them off and funds misses finding out there's more in paypal than she thought and cleaned me out.all I need is another because I'm bored then Saturday neighbour over the way Facebook to misses says my brothers old bikes in the shed do you want it.cant pass on a freeman's so here it is don't think its anything special but the older bikes seem to be creeping in a bit more to the hoard now.its a dawes wildcat not the original front wheel but the rear is original but going to try and find a matching rear to the front because it looks better let you judge.
Even though it looks like a bag of poo when I got it put some air in the tyres had to give it a go.considering it had been in as shed for 20 years rode a dream didn't miss a beat gear changes not a problem. But like I said probably nothing special but like to see the look on previous owners faces when they see their old bike brought back to life done a few over the years and it's so satisfying to see that smile well this is how it is now after stripping it sunday
So it's now Tuesday night nearly Wednesday this is how it stands now after a couple days of sanding getting it right without misses mithering for something or other everytime I pick something up or have oily hands and ask can you help put washing away lol
It has all sachs parts crank shifters etc but the front wheel is a weinmann patent
Would like to find a rear wheel or matching rim as never seen a rim that wide for a old rim rear wheel rim looks to puny against it.will post more pics next few days when I get a bit more done on it
