ill attempt to strip the paint back after work tomorrow if I have time, working long hours tomorrow so it may be Tuesday when it gets done. I am itching to do it but just don't have much time to do it.

i think the frame may be cracked. if its terminal I wont be able to afford to repair it so it will most likely get built onto a different frame. but not sure if it is... pic here.. any help guys? The way I see things, if it works, its a good one, ill ride it until it dies and then if its...

front and rear QRs callipers are gold but cranks silver. black paint underneath.. need to get more of the blue off. its ALOT lighter than anything else ive ever owned.

Found this decal under the horrid paint. will be getting a new wire brush tomorrow and getting most of it off.

just gone and bought another road bike :facepalm: its starting to get addictive :facepalm: this one was purchased for a massive £30 from the local carpet shop, just as they were closing :facepalm: it seems to work - somewhat OK and will do for commuting to work tomorrow. I need to get all...

well this one has come to a end. found a crack around the seat tube by the BB. parts will be used on another build I am doing.

im fairly confident I will be able to get the cranks off and cleaned up. the teeth look ok to me. if i have to cut them off then ill replace. I think the bottom bracket will just be case of strip, clean and rebuild with regreasing. I want to attempt to reuse MOST of the parts on this bike, not...

just quickly took the wheels off. will get the lights off to mess with, clean up and see if I can get a new bulb/lense for the rear and get them working. if I can, brilliant. if not I can clean them up and put them in my spare parts draw incase I ever encounter some again and need spares/can...
