Hi there.
Greetings from sunny Dorset .
Recently picked up this blast from the past .
It's not going to be a mint resto , just a usable "classic",
Bottom bracket was hanging , but after much swearing , hammers , lots of hammers and much heat it came apart .
Basically . four questions .
Where will I be able to get replacement BB parts ?
The pedal shaft (not sure of terminology) is marked 3P G-2 R . which I think means 119mm taper end to taper end.
I'm guessing (hoping) the fixed cup and adjustable cup and bearings are standard ?
What are the chances of finding tyres similar to the original , orange/tan sidewalls ?
The saddle appears to be kind of leather/suede , what will clean it up and restore/preserve it ?
The original brake levers are there , but the cable adjusters have been robbed off.
I found this pic , I think they should be like this ?
Are they a standard size ?
Where am I likely to get some ?
Phew ,I think that's everything for now , thanks for looking !
