Current Projects chat and miscellany

Okay, I thought I would put up a pic of the project frame at the start so I can track the process properly.

The frame is a 70s (about 74 I think), Guerciotti picked up on ebay for £55.

This will be my first FG conversion so I may be on the lookout for a few tips when it gets towards the end.

The plan is to take it back to bare metal and then have a black frame, yellow lug lining, yellow decals with italian stem, drops, seat post, hubs and brakes all shiny and bright. Not sure on the bar and saddle colour yet nor the type of brake levers I will go with but I guess I can decide both when the rest is complete and built up.

Feedback is welcome hence the post...

Very exciting. And a good deal.

Personally I would bother getting enamel (rather than powdercoat) done by someone like Argos Racing Cycles, or Mercian.
