Title: help with this bike please. Need info.
Post by: 0000james0000 on September 23, 2013, 09:20 PM: Would anyone be able to give me any info on this frame. I got the bike a couple of days ago but am unsure if I should strip the paint off and re paint it, leave it as it is or, stick it in the loft and forget about it for 10 years. I only paid a tenner for the whole bike and I know its not worth a fortune. However I can't find much info about it. Any help would be great
