Huh! Thanks for the info, I didn't realise they would have an active instagram account. I'm pretty useless on that side of things but I'll look into that!
Anyway, a bit of an update.
Had the frame abrasive blasted back to raw. Beautiful fillet brazing by the head tube. Massive dent filled in with brass on the seat tube. Holes filled in on the down tube (Bottle bosses). Brass left over on the lower seat tube. So its probably a converted TT frame which is interesting!
Bogged the shit out of it! Much harder than cars! Got the dremel out and trimmed the excess filler but the tight, smooth corners all have to be done by hand. In the picture below you can see a rough sand I've accomplished. The seat tube junction is going to be tough.
Ordered a few parts which are on the way. It's not going to be period correct at all, but I believe it will be tasteful.
Will try to keep this thread more updated!
