Not sure if this thread is dead. I am trying to bring another Corsa back to life...paint is terrible and needs a new frame as tubes bent, but all original parts. I love the colour 'Chartreuse' - 'yellow green'.

Hi, have you got more pictures of your Reg Harris, I have just picked up one, but it has no decals.

Hi all, I was thinking of cold setting a steel frame and putting an 11 speed block on the back, adding an 11 speed chain, and a Potenza silver crankset, but shifting this with Suntour Cyclone 2 front and rear dérailleurs, and bar end friction shifters. Will this work, or should I look out for...
