Some time ago I picked up a BSA Golden Fifty racer. Sadly it had been sprayed orange probably about 20 years ago and is a testament to the how useless a can of car spray paint can be. I was thinking of rebuilding it and spending some time and effort on creating a nice custom ride but now I'm not so sure.
My question is. Is this frame really worth the effort and if not what makes should I be looking for. I really like frames with fancy lugs etc but appreciate these older frames are typically quite heavy.
