Re:Norman fay

If this uploads correctly, here is another Fay, in original paint and mostly original components

This is a 650B made in 1976. I'm not sure if it was built as a 650, but that is how it came to me. I don't think the brakes would work with bigger wheels. TA/Stronglight, Suntour Gears, Milremo Pedals (changed for modern copy of Lyotard platforms) and bars, Mafac Brakes, OMO brake levers, Brooks B17 (swapped for more recent one), Soubitez dynamo and lights, original carriers, Stronglight headset and BB, 2 TA Water bottle carriers. Wheels were originally Sunlight hubs and unidentified rims, but replaced with Campag/Weinmann. Tyres were Michelin 650x42 but now modern repacement

Thanks! I think it was used a little bit then put in a shed for a long time - nothing much is worn, its just been slowly rotting away. I took it for a quick spin today and liked it. Bar tape and pedal clips to come soon.
