This Brooks B17 Standard was in a car accident. The guy riding it is fine, but the frame got pretty badly bent.



It's a pretty recent model, I'm not sure how old, probably three or five years I guess. Its owner slathered the underside with a whole lot of Proofide, which I don't think is such a great idea, but it doesn't seem to have done much harm.

I drilled out all the rivets, replaced the frame with a chromed B17 frame from the 70's, and put in new brass rivets.



It seems fine now. Owner has already replaced it, so I'm going to put this in the 'for sale' forum.
