Now that's what I wanted to hear! Trying not to get ahead of myself, but I spent most of the journey home thinking about how I was going to build it up and spray it. I'm thinking risers and either a lime green or pink paint job, no brakes and maybe I'll see what I can do with the existing crank (some single ring cottered job) and try and source a rear wheel. Spacing looks like 120mm.
The funny thing is that it looks like it's been set up as a singlespeed already - there's a cassette on the back, but there's no rear mech (or hanger), and the chain's been shortened so it's on tight around one of the sprockets. I suppose I could always run it like that for a while, until I can get hold of a dirt cheap wheel. Then all I'd have to do is find out what the seatpost size is, and find a seat.
Anyone got any of the above going spare?
