cheers :)
I thought it was probably earlier than that judging by what was fitted to it, but guess like bikes running around now it makes no odds' to how old the frame is! Also with the rear triangle & forks being originally bare chrome (so I'm told by a wise bearded man) being later painted, I figure to keep it looking recent/ fashionable through the 80's.
My first port of call was going to be obviously BJ themselves, but did a bit of reading and seemed to suggest they are charging as much as £25 a hit for info :*(
Once I get some decent pics I'm going to need some help on how to build it up. I'm leaning on... decent period internal hub, NOS rims (not silver, I hate silver), and period fittings, but probably newer brakes (I live in lake district, we got 1:3 hills round 'ere). But I don't know what period the frame is from. basically want to end up with something rideable round mountains & lakes, yet sexy.
