Well it is about time I posted another build
I've been busy servicing and sourcing more modern bikes for friends and colleagues but after I got the Mrs to do an emergency stop just around the corner from us, I ended up riding this home. I can't believe what some people throw away!
It's not too bad for its age, appears to have seen little use and has surface rust on the chrome components but everything works.
Stripped down, just the canti's, BB and forks to come off.
I've just finished polishing the rear wheel up and mounted one of the new tyres, pic below to show the result compared to the front which was the better of the two corrosion wise.
She'll be up for sale once I've given her a lot of love and had a ride or two.
