Started tackling the rust on the fork crown today
From this
to this
In doing so, I was struck by how ridiculously light the frame is for such an oldy...
2140g for a 56cm frame is pretty reasonable if you ask me
Also stripped the hipster stickers off (except the Prolly viking which was retained at the request of my daughters) Some of the frame was in a similar state to the forks - I've sanded off the worst of the rust and just need to polish things up with some fine emery cloth then I'll be onto the clearcoating.
