@UpNorthChris
anyone here interested in an old post office bike (pashley steel one)??
i got as far as taking it apart and servicing the headset so far.
stumped on how to get the chainset off (if you want to repaint it) the thread is a different size to anything ive seen before. im sure you could get a bolt down the hardware store that would fit to extract them...but i cant be bothered as im out of cash for this project.
bottom bracket, headset perfect condition. few spots of rust, chips and scratches everywhere.
wheels - stermyarcher 3 speed with drum brakes. one of the rims is dented so could do with a rebuild - i always intended to build some more modern rims for decent tyres.
frame, fork, wheels, gears, brakes etc...all freecycle. (no original stem or bar). (no front tray unfortunately).
i did buy a nice stem and bar for it and would want to get my 14quid back on them if you want.
if there is any interest ill post some pics - would be a shame to see it go to waste (sitting in my garage for eternity).
