I'd be slightly hesitant to run those tyres at 100 PSI now though :teef:

Thanks mate!  fistblump I'll try my very best to keep the vibe it has now, but the holes at the seat tube area are giving me a headache still.
Let's see what further recommendations may be like, to make this decision easier for me. All my german mates unanimously said ( 9 out of 9 ) "Gone!" .."forgett it!" ...maybe they don't know about the magic household items can do.  :teef:

As I'm not a heavy kid I can afford to run my tires about 45 psi. First inspenction wasn't showing any cracks or seriously dried up areas.  :daumenhoch:

It may sound a bit daft but i quite like the idea of just sticking some chewing gum over the hole. Its the kinda rolling repair we would have done as kids bitd to spot water getting in  :D

"..adding another layer of history" is encouraging. Thanks Clint, that was helpful regarding my decision. :daumenhoch:

Getting a small swimming pool and some citric acid is the plan now. Is it E330 (citric acid)?

oldschoolace:
Not sure, always just bought the food grade stuff off the bay

Then it is E330.  :daumenhoch: Thanks!

Wow Mark! I recently saw a nos f&f-set listed on the bay. Now as I spotted the tiny decal at the head tube saying MADE IN TAIWAN, this seems to be true and not just a funny little decal.
Nice to know.
Do you still have it, and are you planning on getting it build up?

Sadly had to sell it when I moved to Australia in 2013 mate. Strangely it was bought on the Bay by a guy in Oz, who then put it back up on the Bay for 3 times what he paid for it. Funniest bit was when he tried selling it on OZBMX and I commented on the price hike. He didn't realise I was the same guy that sold it to him and had followed it to Australia  ;D

It was built up and ridden, I have a pic somewhere if I can find it....

Enjoy the restoration!
