Hi Folks,

Just wanted to say a big hello to all.
I'm in the process of fixing up my dad's old road bike which had been unfortunately neglected since he stopped riding - lets say that it almost ended up in the scrap yard .

That being said, my intention is to bring it back to its original state where possible (well it seems to have had a number of diy makeovers) - I'm not highly skilled or tooled up for this kind of work and the main driver here to revive the bike is an emotional one. I'm hoping to draw a little (or lots) of help from a friend and the community here to identify and parts etc.

Hope you'll have me and put up with my uninformed questions in the weeks to come

All the best.

Welcome. The members in our Classic & Vintage, plus our Mechanics forums, should be able to help you.

thanks - much appreciated
