English BB. Also looking at the forks they were once chrome, no trace of the same red, so probably not original. The fork lugs do seem different to the frame...
Anyway enough sleuthing thanks for thoughts and inputs. Time to clean and polish.
Not that I know.. so assuming original fork..
I need to look at the b/bkt u just took it out without any thought.... Will report back over the weekend....
Interesting...as I've said before we have no idea of the origins.. my dad saved it from the skip 25 years ago. Built it up with spare bits to get it in on the road... how does the wrap round seat stay go with a conti frame? Will the bb tell me anything? I just took it out...
So I finally got this home.. couple of minor dents in the top tube that can be filled. I am having an issue getting hhe cranks off.. bolt's come out but threads on inside are stripped so crank extractor won't take... any ideas?
