Some pics of the beastie as it arrived.
Condition is good, the components have a bit of surface rust in places but the chain/freewheel/chain wheels look in remarkably good shape, even the original rigida stickers are still on the rims!
Paint/finish is OK, not real rust to speak of.
Plan is:
New:
m700 shifters
Brooks B66
Deer Head Rear Mech.
Tyres (Tioga black wall chunkie things)
Sponge grips
New Brake Blocks
Pedals - not sure what these should be - any suggestions?
Clean, polish the rest, one day re-spoke it with stainless.
