Just to add a little bit of history my wife remembered she had this sewn to her brownies blanket from her youth that her grandad gave to her to add to her badges.
@Woz managed to adjust the derailleur as per instructions on the link you sent. And now the chain beds onto the largest gear nicely. The gear levers are still quite tight to move but they seem to be working mostly
A bit of a foam spray cleaner l, followed by t-cut, followed by a shine and protect and I'm calling it generally a success
By no means a perfect restoration, but considering the age, the uniqueness and everything in between I am very happy I've managed to get it to this point.
Huge thank you to everyone that offered help and advice along the way definitely wouldn't have got this done without you all chipping in.
Ditto. Well done. It's really nice to see this lovely frame cleaned up and cared for.
I guess your bike skills have advanced a lot too, so stick around here a bit more, there's still the CB, but enjoy a few gentle rides on the Carpenter.
