All in all a success day. I won't be keeping the brake set up, i've only blown them over quickly as my daughter has yet to see the bike and If she saw a rusty heap she wouldn't be best impressed!!! and they are completely shot.

The stem came up well so far, still more work to do on it

The R bolt brackets had a quick going over, but still need more work, they are on the rescuing borderline

Thats it for a while. until the daughter comes back off her summer hols and chooses her colour scheme not much more i can do

it's nowhere near finished yet, new paint, full brake set, new chain as the original back wheel must've had fewer teeth on the sprocket, and the chain now is solid and it's reluctant to pedal backwards! and finally a padset for it
