Newbie here and my Overbury's (Connoisseur?) renovation.
- Thread starter KenP
- Start date
Stripped down the bike now. The paintwork is showing signs of age with fine rust lines appearing underneath the paint. Also there is some rust bubbling around the cable eyes on the top tube.
Someone has mashed the edges of the bottom bracket shell in the past ... looks like a pair of molegrips were used to remove a stubborn BB
It's now with Argos Racing Cycles in Bristol for a respray and will be looking quite different when I get it back!

Extremely so!
Love your renovation History Man, are you still riding it?
Thanks grantoury. It's a 25", I'm north of 6 feet so should be a reasonable fit for me.

Occasionally. It’s a little conventional. I like weird too.
The frame is back from Argos Racing Cycles in Bristol. Quite a quick turn round time of 4 weeks.
I have to say I'm extremely happy with the results, it's my first respray & was really nervous about the colours I'd chosen (Verde Aqua and Oyster White for the headtube and downtube panel)
I think it looks good ..... and my partner agrees. She didn't even blink at the cost so it must be OK!
I am really looking forward to building this up and getting out on it.
