Title: Another pit resto - MityGoose
Post by: gmac on May 15, 2006, 05:15 PM

As you can see from the first pic, the tyres were shot on this, and the frame/forks and wheels were seriously rusty. A couple of hours spent with the Autosol, and a few NOS parts, and it's looking alot nicer. Managed to save the original decals. There is a bit of damge to them, but look much nicer than slapping repros on there. The wheels are a different set, but pretty much the same (coaster brake) The cranks & pedals came up ok, as did the seat post. Other parts are : ACS stem, NOS seat, A'me Tri's, comp III style tyres generic seat post clamp, and a set of Pro Class bars & pads to finish it off.

I love these little pits, they are so cool  :coolsmiley:

Cheers

Guy   :)

Alans will only ship to cardholder's registered address Steve.

If you want me to send you the money for the bars that's fine, but I don't wanna get involved in buying all sorts of other stuff just to finally get hold of them - sorry

Cheers

Guy  :)
