Will it be a 1" headset on this bike?

judging from the age and pics I'd say no ... looks to be the clamp on 1 1/8th sort

£40 for a bike that you can cut your teeth restoring is money well spent in my book ... I did just the same with a Vertigo when I was starting out  :)

Spend as little as you can  :daumenhoch:

Get some primer and spray up the bars

forget the front brake

anything rusty will come up a treat in an oxalic or citric acid bath ( buy it off ebay )

Del is your man for decals ... they might not match exactly but who cares

PMSL at kicking the saddle into a field ... agreed  fistblump

have some fun with it Carl  :)

here's the one I did ... sprayed stuff ... begged and scrounged parts ... learn't a lot!

The bike in your pics has a 1" threaded headset & quill stem setup, like an old school bike  :daumenhoch:

Love those decals, I have asked Del for those in yellow!
