so this old shed find, a freddie grubb comet or meteor, possibly ? can't really find anything on grubb frame numbers and the brochures aren't really that detailed
the paint job was a rough one done by hand by the previous owner and it wasn't patinaed by any means so no puppies were killed.
has become this
will finish tidying it up tomorrow then try and find a large alan key to undo stem and get forks and plastic head set off
hopefully the bb will come out although it doesn't feel too bad if it's stuck
will leave bare metal as i've always fancied raw finish with a bit of lacquer
will rebuild with relatively inexpensive bits as a commuter / beater for the time being see how it rides
may get rid as it isn't quite my size
