Okay, so back in December (I think) I bought a frame from a forum member. It was an old (50s or early 60s) frame that I was going to strip down, remove added braze-ons, get resprayed and new decals etc. I've already spent some time removing the disc-brake fittings etc, bought the decals and bought a seat-pin, handlebars & stem. I only realised a few weeks ago that there is no trace of a serial number on the BB case - indeed when I removed the rust, it looked a bit like it may have been ground off.
Should I go ahead and get it sprayed, knowing it may well have been stolen at some point, or just put it down to experience?
