After lurking around on here for a few years I've finally got round to building something. Serial no has been removed from bottom bracket but I was sold it as a 1985. I bought it of the museum as needing restoring so got it at a good price or so I thought until customs intervened. This is how it arrived to me.
Apart from the rust it's in great condition dropouts brake bridge and seat post mast are near perfect.
It's too far gone for a oxalic bath and the chrome is peeling around the rusty areas so I've set about cleaning it up and removing the rust.
It's looking much better but spoke to SBD who's advised me to have the chrome removed before powdering so it's saving up time again before I can get some paint on it.

And a few parts I've got for it. Not sure on black or silver for brakes yet.
