Here it is. It's shabby but it rides! Just smoked my 10 year old in a drag race on it. The rear wheel is flaky and there's a lot of surface rust all over. The lady who I bought it off said she was going to tip it but a friend said she should sell it. I think she'd have happily taken a tenner but it's worth £15 all day long.
Any resto tips? Would like to keep as much original as I can, I'm not bothered about it looking a bit rough. The stem cap looks to be missing (you can see right through) and the spoke nipples are very rusty but I'm hoping I can clean them up. I think the rear wheel is beyond help but the tyres are sound and it holds air. The brake is stiff but I'm hoping a lubing up of the cables will fix it.
