Project Nigel Dean

[JayLC]

Bought two bikes in the last 48hrs. 1st one is this Nigel Dean. Thought it looked interesting and it’s was very local to me. Circa 1987 i think? Opened up the Cosmic and even got some free tyre levers…Woo Hoo! As you can see, the Cosmic bag/pad was originally pink and the frame is also bleached out . I’m hoping to restore it to its former glory but don’t have any info. Looks like all Suntour groupset. If anyone can shed any light please let me know.

I must admit I was a bidder!
But really happy to see it here on Retrobike
Looking forward to seeing it back to it's best, just love the colours.
Does it have the type of tubing on it, seller never got back to me.

I haven’t seen any yet, although I haven’t stripped it or removed the bag. I was supposed to be doing my Super Galaxy project next but this may jump up the list.

I picked this up for a bargain £10 lol, missing some of the bits in the picture but have gathered up the missing parts. I'm having the paint redone on it all apart from top tube which is the only part not faded. Lovely light bike tbh, ITM stem and Jigsaw brake levers are a plus. Hopefully up and running by end of the summer. Will share when complete.
Need to do something with the cosmic trail pad and corner bag as tbh they are in bad shape.
