The frame needed a full restoration mainly to treat the surface rust as 753 is so thin, it had been left in a cold damp shed for years. The re-spray will be exactly I have even bought NOS decals where available or had them made exactly, plus measured to the mm so they go back in the same place. Luckily for me the groupset and other bits had been striped and stored in a warm loft so only needed a strip down and replacing a few bolts, jockey wheels etc that where shot. I have replaced with NOS exactly as the original regardless of cost. It’s starting to get a bit of an obsession and I’m getting anal about the detail.
