Maybe I should try with my Carlton Corsair add a few zeros to the £50 :)

http://www.wilko.com/dc-fix-fablon/d-c- ... vt/0309568 That's the one I use, but for best results you do need to gently heat as you use it

I have used chrome fablon, the trick seems to be to heat it with a hairdryer and stretch it as you apply it. I've used it on car chrome, it's been on for a year, through car washes etc and not peeled at all. Just doing the same on my forks where the chrome has lifted

I would like to thank Paul for his generosity and kindness in not only giving me parts free to keep the rebuild costing nothing but he also took time to ride over and deliver them personally :)

Thanks to the forum I can now confirm that the bike is either it's a Harry Quinn rebadge or a Falcon, both the same bike.

Many thanks, checked the photos and it's either a Harry Quinn rebadge or a Falcon, both the same bike

Thanks Bagpuss, pm sent, really appreciate it

Most of one side of the fork is now stripped, you may be able to see where the chrome stops about 3/4 of the way up. Now because I can only use what ever is in the workshop I have 3 choices. I can leave the whole fork in chrome/metal and just clear laquer it. Choice 2 is I have some black spray...

I've got a feeling the stickers may be a red herring, just put on when the paint job was. The bike originally would have had 2 tone red/chrome or even all chrome forks. The frame has always been red though.

Now BSA is one I haven't checked :)

The bike is on another subject viewtopic.php?f=12&t=249531 All the photos are there, serial on centre across bb

Well under the rough paint, the forks are chrome some has come off but there's enough left to make it worth while taking the paint off, polishing and I have just enough lacquer left to protect them. Should look better than the rubbish chrome 'effect' paint with runs in it

Anyone an idea which maker use this type of frame number :)

Frame number is M9L34889

I can now tell you the forks where once chromed

To be honest the photos lie, it's not in as good condition as you first think :). Just stripped off the frame and cleaning and tcutting the paint as been some home paint repairs so hoping they blend in together. Now should the All Britain tour stickers stay or go?

My so called friends and family have challenged me to rebuild a touring bicycle, then train and use it for my solo Butlins or Bust Charity Ride for Rainbows Children's Hospice. Not much of a challenge you think but as I run a recycled bicycle scheme I have to do it with no money being spent...

To be honest, when I first got it I thought Puch

Bit stumped on my latest project. Something I like about this bike so may become my charity ride bike. The specs are Altenburger centre pull brakes, Rigida Wheels, Schimano Selecta Chainset, Sachs Huret ECO S rear deralliuer and Miche pedals. The saddle is a Brooks Professional. It is in good...

I have a perfect condition Brooks saddle but missing the adjuster bolt and the front 'cage' that it fits into. I wondered if anyone had a damaged saddle with the correct parts on thanks
