He did, paint is overall in amazing condition apart from very slight rusty bits from where a frame pump would have lived. I assume he was guilty of the classic stick a cork in the underside of the fork steerer trick.. so queue much swearing this evening trying to get a perished cork and seized stem out. Left it dripping in white wine vinegar before dinner. Going to have another attempt in a bit. Le sigh.
What do you mean by VMB? Def think its going to have to be a mainly silver build but I quite like the black cockpit

Good luck with the stem!
VMB means vintage modern bike, a somewhat confusing term coined by @gaston Basically silver more or less modern gear with a classic appearance, handbuilt wheels with shallow rims etc.

If that’s the case, he took really good care of it! A silver VMB neo retro build with classic cranks would look great on this :)
