So I picked up this silverstreak off ebay, I won it while on the Cleethorpes ride. I was in the smallest pub on the planet when it ended lol, anyway the story goes that it was in an old couples garage for many years. They bought it for their grandson to use when he visited and he could ride with the local kids.............im technically the second owner. I decided to best thing to do was clean it, use as much of the original bike as I could and replace the missing parts with used stuff where I could. I only used NOS when I had to unfortunately.

original parts just cleaned

frame and forks ( still has original decals )
bars
rims
hubs
freewheel
opc
spider
chainwheel
chainwheel bolts
bb
headset

sourced used parts
seat
seatpost
stem
brake calipers
brake levers
seat clamp
pedals


nos or repop

grips
tyres
chain
innertubes
innertube air lol
grease
spokes

Next job was to break the bike down and start the clean up and source the missing parts. After inspecting the parts I decided the best option was to strip the wheels right down and once cleaned rebuild them. This was an excellent idea as cleaning up was much easier, I replaced the spokes but the rest is original even the freewheel

factory pilot:
