Silver streak frame and forks. Been sat in the loft for two years lol. I think ultimately it will end up re chrome or powder required but SS should be chrome IMHO. It's an early one too so if it comes up ok survivor could be an option?

Wilkinson stuff is fine, just not the cheapest. Cold water is fine too. Just be sure to give it a good stir  :daumenhoch:
