It seems once you start getting involved refurbing old bikes your reputation gets 'round...
I haven't seen this bike yet, but my Dad is currently doing some work for an old fella and they got talking and my old man mentioned about me spending my weekends with a tin of autosol, an old toothbrush and being up to the eyes of grease...Anyhoo, the old guy asks if I'd be interested in an old bike he's hanging up in the garage for the last 40 odd years by it's front wheel.
I'm hoping to pick it up at the weekend, but according to my Dad, apparently it's a Flying Scot which he bought in 1955 with full original components, I have no idea what kind of nick it's in but I'll certainly post some pictures when I get it...
