Got stuck in to the frame today, just a quick hand-job, rubbing in some polishing cream and a bit of wax. Lovely.
Better, but still ugly as as hell.
Interestingly or not, the frame and decals are metallic or glitter effect, whilst the fork is solid red, but matching the tone of the frame.
Can anyone indicate the correct diameter of the seat post? The clamp has been pinched a little by the look of it and I get an interior seat tube diameter of 26.5mm thereabouts.
Later it will get another deeper clean
sans headset and BB
, and I will address those exposed rusty spots, of which there are many. I have no inclination to strip and repaint, I am liking the patina after apparently 20 years of being kicked around the garage floor.
But for now, I am rooting out some decent period parts. More to come...
