Not restoring, really...started out with too little of the original bike. I'm building a club racer replica from the bare frame. I've no doubt that purists are recoiling in mute horror from my efforts.
I had mocked it up last winter, but it got sidelined when I found the seat stay brazings were broken. I recently had the damage repaired, along with some other minor modifications, since the paint was getting ruined by the torch anyways. I just got the frame back from the powdercoater last week, and I spent this evening putting the bottom bracket together.
This was from last winter:
Some things will have changed by the time I'm done.
