I picked this up this morning from Graham(Hydorah(sorry for the early wake up ) in Exeter, many thanks mate and ta for the tea
Having got it home i stripped most bits off, need to get a tool for the old style BB.
Gave her a quick wash and T-cut the worst of the big marks off to see what was what.
The paint is quite badly chipped and scratched but i think its the paint job that makes the bike so a respray is not on the cards.
Its a lot smaller than i thought so i'm going to replace the stem with a nice long T-Bone i've got.
The BB is beyond repair so i'll fit a more modern Shimano square taper item.
I'm going to change the seatpost for a black one as the bars and stem are/will be black also.
Only other stuff will be fresh tyres of an amberwall persuasion, new chain and new cables all round.
Even in its slightly tired and dilapidated state it still looks fantastic
Further cleaning and updates will take place when my polishing arm has recovered a bit
