oh man I'm so happy I found this post about the Phillips, I bought a pretty dirty old bicycle a couple of weeks ago, no brand, no badges, and ugly over painted with a brush...why? why? why?

So since I got it almost for free I decided to renew it (mind that I'm not saying "restore" it) and I found "Phillips" written on the handlebar (which was also painted in black). Now I'm working to take all that ugly paint off and see where I'm standing in terms of rust and other stuff. The bicycle had a redish anti rust paint under the black paint. No sign of the original paint on the frame, only on the fenders. Oh it has coaster brake (Torpedo Duomatic hub) )and -maybe- 3 speeds but I can't confirm it yet as I'm mostly working on the frame now.
Whenever I'm allowed to post photos, I will do it. I will need some help for sure.
happy weekend!
