Since I have just finished off my last project bike ( single speed Repco Superlight)
I figured I needed something different to work on...
So up to the local tip-shop thismorning to see what I could play with, and I this is what I found (in a somewhat sad shape, but mostly workable)
This is what it should've looked like when new....

Somewhere along the line someone put on a front brake and fitted those radial spoke wheels (with some stupid number of spokes per wheel, which I might add, are mostly broken....)
Most (if not all) the chrome work is ruined, but the seat and frame are in really good condition. I am thinking I might get some nice 36 hole rims, lace them up to an old 3-speed Sturmy-Archer hub (just have to chase down a t-bar shifter for the top tube) and fit a rear brake (probably get a nice matching set for front and back.....)
What I'm not decided on is the damaged chrome..... I have an electroplater just down the road from me.... or do I paint/powdercoat the parts....
