I just received this as a trade and wondering what I should do with it.
I have most of the bits to make it original but there are some issues surrounding the restoration. The first of them for me are as follows:
1. I would like to paint it to prevent it from rusting and generally looking bad. I don't have the correct decals nor do I think I can get them. Can I?
2. Whether or not to cut the steerer. It is an original Fisher (Teesdale) fillet brazed fork, same as the frame, but should I cut it to fit this tiny frame?
The measurements are:
ST CtC = 16 inches
TT CtC = 19.5 inches
Head Tube = 3.5 inches
Steerer = 6.5 inches with 1.5 inches of thread
All opinions and/or ideas welcome...cheers!!
