Hiya newbie here
I have been on the look out for a racing frame so my other half can build himself a fixie. Finally found one brought it home and realised it looks a bit old! I've googled it but can't work out the year. Has a serial number caked with dirt but starts with M 4 J. Now I haven't got the heart to strip it! As he'll spray it! Anyone have any info?
