I think it used to be crome, it's been sprayed (badly) metalic green at some point, has a new seat (i think it's a childs seat!) and some extra stickers. Giro is new but sound - just needs an overhaul!
 just the frames not your usual?

 Nice! Like the look!
Stripping the bike back now. Haven't found any evidence of original colours, I guess I'll use my imagination.
Just it's gonna be fun working on a blank canvas, choosing a colour scheme and decals, pedals etc...any suggestions? Websites that may help? ... The green is kinda growing on me but I'll see when it's stripped back.
If I find any ID marks maybe someone can help me out.
 
Be in touch....
