Some of you may have seen this on eBay a week or two ago, well my good mate Rich (retrorich78) picked it up from Aldershot and dropped it off with me today. Chuffed to bits  :smitten:
I recently bought a white frame and forks, but it arrived with a crack in the seat tube, and had been hack sawed down the front  :'( so when I spotted this on the bay, I had a punt. This has the makings of a great summer rider - the frame isn't in too bad a shape, the rust is on the surface for the most part, and the drop outs are mint. The forks are rotten, I'll dunk the lot in some oxalic acid and see how it fares. But I may have to re-chrome the forks  :(

I plan to sell the cranks to fund the re-build, so if anyone has an idea of what 3rd gen profiles with spider are worth in this condition, give us a shout  :)

I love this bike already  :smitten:  :smitten:



















Cheers,
Tom
