I bought it as a secondhand reno job, which had a new spray job by Bob jackson. Within 6 months I found a crack on the nds seatstay near what I thought was a gas escape hole when brazing, which has also now become larger. Stripped bike down to have the stay replaced but then found a hole in bb shell under the plastic cable housing for gear cables, also found a small crack on ds chain stay. The other issue is the bike is completely painted, so no chrome, which I have now decided I would like. The quill is also stuck.
So my plan is to build back up and use as my town/pub/lockup bike. As I don't think repair is worth it.
