Pro-Star project

(1/3) > >>

currio:
From a thread somewhere else, a question was asked if there are any Pro-Star builds on the go.
Well, as it happens, there is.
I bought this from the bay, via a mate.
This bike was one that I always intended to buy, for sentimental reasons really, not saying its not a worthy project all the same.
Anyway, here is the first pic, as it came.



From the pic, it looks as though all is well, however, there is a bit of corrosion on the seat tube, and the bottom bracket area.
Saying that, it is only surface, and the rest of the frame is solid, and the rear drop outs look as though the rear wheel has never been off.
From this, I decided to have the frame stripped of its original chrome, and to remove the corrosion marks.
I will post some pics of the stripped frame, and more pics as the resto develops.
