Re: The rack is aluminium, the bike not so bad. Let me send you some pics so you can gauge condition. I live near Stourbridge but shall be going north to see my son in Sale on the 17th July. Hence could deliver maybe? I'll suggest a price when I've had a better look at it if that's OK. Graham

Re: I have a pretty original 20 with rack (a bit rusty) and 3 speed. Interested?

Re: my self extracting bolt is tearing apart the threading . I've freed ally bits off steel using a hot air paint stripper. Make a shield to keep it off the paint. Torque up the extractor and heat till it pops.

My 1974 or 5 Olympic has decals on the chain stays with "Olympic designed by Ernie Clements" on them. It also has the wrap around seat stays and 531 frame tubes. For some reason mine doesn't have chrome on the lower part of the forks. It does have mudguards though.
