Re: Just sent you a PM to discuss :-) thanks John

Re: Wow, looks great for 20 quid. So far I'm at 26 euro for the Haro and 30 euro for the donor bike (I'm not counting the bottom bracket "issue" :-) Just got a pretty reasonable quote from gil for the decals. @lae will find out what 2 sets cost as well, just to see if something makes sense...

Re: thanks guys I have my heart set on bringing this bike back with decals ... so might just take the plunge on this one. Might not make much sense taking in to account the cost of the bike, but hey, that's not what we are here for ... hope "the boss" agrees :-D If there's anyone out there...

Re: While I sort out the budget for the decals, powder coaters etc. I've been busy getting some of the parts in order. Since I decided to keep the original spec, I went on the hunt for a suitable donor bike for a couple of bits missing in the original bike (mechs, wheels plus a couple of other...

Re: Bottom bracket was a pain ... bottom bracket lock rings were both plastic and completely trashed :facepalm: In the end had to drill out the BB, it came away after some messing around. Unfortunately I was not as careful as I had thought with the drill on one side. Some of the threads...

Some photos of the bike itself. Sorry for the poor smartphone quality, but at least you get to see what it is ...

Another marktplaats find :-) Well, I was heading west to Schiphol to pick up my wife tonight anyway, so it would only be an extra 45 minutes out of the way I thought .... so, I stuck in the minimum bid and few hours later I got an email telling me it was mine :-). Seemed like a great idea...

Early 90s Dawes Zenith "station bike" (I.e. it gets left there every day). Single speed, nothing fancy, does the job. Was quite taken by the blue anodised brakes and matching colour decals :) u
