Can this Simoncini be saved?

still going on this thing! it is going to make it - no question of that. i have run out of money and i would rather take longer and do it right rather than get it back on the road with dodgy parts and a hand spray. got wheels, crank,2 brakes and seat - still need bars and an armourtex paint job (unless anyone has better ideas). i will be sure to put pics up when it is done.

awesome.
How does it look now ?
really interested to see what you did in total and how you went about restoring the frame.

nothing exciting to look at - just all sanded down and flooded with braze into the worst pitting. also major drama where the gear cable went under bottom bracket - the guide did not keep it off the metal so it was sawing through the BB shell. Got it sprayed with wd40 to keep rust off and just waiting to get a hundred quid spare to get the paint. will put pics up when that happens.

Bright idea, seeing as you have flooded some of the metal with braze it would look good if it was all done with braze. it would also be rustproof on the outside - yes I like the idea of a brass coloured frame.

thats exactly what i want to see ! to me thats more interesting than seeing the powdercoated end result.

Any further updates on this little baby? Project finished? Wud love to see any pix?
