Got a plum frame from this forum about 4 years ago, built it up as a single speed with cheap parts, it became my daily commuter. Here's how it started:
Since then I've upgraded most parts to campagnolo, but each year the frame looked a little sadder, slowly the decals wore away, gathered plenty of scratches and a dent in the top tube (fell into the corner of some railing), but this winter it took a real beating as I didn't get a chance to service it & most importantly re lacquer the chrome/polished steel forks. Anyway, spring came. Got made redundant & I thought I'd restore it as best I can to keep myself sane between job searching.
Task 1: forks.
