just unwrapped my latest project sent by george sportif, for the girlfriend to pop into town on and do her shopping etc,
it's a 5 speed, 26 x 1 3/8th wheeled townsend mixte, i have a feeling that she won't get on with the saddle so she'll probably end up with a nice sprung brooks, so i'll brown tape the bars and get some new gumwall tyres to match i think, it's a bit tarnished and the chrome is pitted but a bit of elbow grease should sort that! does anyone have any tips on cleaning the brake hoods? they're off- white with dark black freckling spots, if not where should i look for some new ones?
