Wow, that’s a big one… do you have a frame number? @Jamiedyer has a list.
And are you going to start a build thread?

 

[Peachy!]

Yuk… this stinks but it needs doing…

Caustic soda? Effective but don’t breath in too close....unless you are bunged up with a cold.

Finally got around to dropping it off back with Steve at Arthur Caygill Cycles in Richmond. The bill having now been shaved back to a more palatable level due mainly to having removed the front seat post without damaging the tube and also removing all the superfluous braze-ons myself (pump pegs, bottom guides and cruiser brake tabs)
Now I just need to carefully strip all the kit off the Majestic Two, sell that frame and some trinkets and find something else to build over the next two months!

Just seen a Facebook update from Arthur Caygill, the JT has finally made it to the front of the queue.
