I believe this belonged to a forum member but I picked it up on ebay a little while ago. The plans are to bring it back to its original 1951 glory but unfortunately money is tight so I have had to steal parts from my other bikes to get it going. Its actually amazing to ride as it is but just feels kind of wrong with those wheels, brake and chainset. The lacquer is cracking off all over the shop but I’m not sure If I have the heart to get it resprayed yet seeing as the paint is original. Any tips on protecting the bare metal spots?
