oldtired:
probably the wrong time to post this what with the frantic efforts for MK at the mo , but i'd like to enter this for the skip fodder section at MK via proxy as i can't make MK this year ,  :'(


got this of a rad member just because first it was cheap,  :daumenhoch: (nice one D) second i liked and still do like the look of it , had a bash at searching for an id but with not much luck , i've set myself a £50 budget for this,   as one of the reasons for getting the f+f was to find a use for a bunch of parts i have lying around, you always end up having to buy something so i thought i do it justice and spend as little as possible  :LolLolLolLol:,  :daumenhoch:




so set to with the nitromorse (fekin stuff burns like fook  :LolLolLolLol: )





noticed a dink on the chain stay and the horible seat stay, seat post junction with crimped tubes, quality  :LolLolLolLol:, so bit of chemical metal and a bit of sanding,




all in all not a bad result, brazed frame cleaned up ok , time to dig out the old head set after a quick blast of paint to keep the old rust away,   " feck me it dont fit "   the head tube is to big , shim shiminey shim shim sharoo's then , short story made long i had abit a thin ally so made these, fits perfect now



then came the crown on the forks or rather lack of  ?



more substantial shim needed here , chopped up on old stainless pan ,shaped it on the old akisu's,  then final fit with an ally spacer meant i had to bash it in place  :daumenhoch:

oldtired:
color change and bung on few other bits,  crank set next , but i think i'm going to break into to the budget again for this as the one on it is a non starter, its possibly and i,m still looking into this a 1938 williams?  date stamp research is never easy  :LolLolLolLol:, spent £6 so far on paint  :LolLolLolLol: 

Darren Wood:
Your doing that proud i liked the look of that and asked about it but you had just got it  :coolsmiley:



Looks to be in good shape after a nice bit of RESTO keep us updated  :)
