Can't you get some new bars?

Oh man that looks rough,

Can't you get some new bars?

Bars are custom one piece unit but yeah could be sorted or swapped out to standard bars and stem, that is if the stem isn't rusted in .... Same worry for that seatpost.

Looks fillet brazed, unusual for a Fuquay.

Greg would be spinning in his grave.....if he wasn't still alive!

His workshop was in the next village to me.....lovely chap....pity he went home.

Those bars need a rebuild, from scratch.........plus there is some serious rust going on there!

No, a fairly common approach, it doesn't have much force going into it so doesn't need to be super-tough.

Is this a fillet brazed Fuquay then? Rough but very cool.
