Yes I knew you would say that, but I didnt know myself how much I would love it!
Early 70-ies? That makes this frame older than me! The number is 791 43. I does not seem repainted in any way.
Its cleaned up good now. One problem is the left part of the bottom bracket seems stuck. Its still there, for one, and has signs of someone trying to brute it of with heavy tool. Good thing about that is I can see what it is...
The Hattaswan was a surprise. It was quite rusty on the outside, and the bottom bearings had the well known gravel sound and feel. The bearings were well greased, and a cleaning showed perfect conditon, but a fare share of sand in the bottom one.
I agree on the silver. It is what I see when I close my eyes...
Gotta keep building. Thanks guys! Check in for progress!
