  • Loving the original paint job. And the six spoke crank.

    What's the plan?

  • Curly-lug-licious! Nice looking machine

    Who was it made by? Also, are you planning to keep the left-hand-drive?

  • Ah the lhd side thing was my own daftness when putting the parts next to each other for photo! Its RJ Quinn of Edge Lane Liverpool and still going - saw a very interesting similar bike in the pub rides section I think, of a gold colour from same shop.

    Its Nearly all assembled as a single speed with some of the rust cleaned up - but fully showing its 25 years of scars!! I've left 27 1 1/4 wheels on after obtaining a spare wheel of a similar level of decay! More pics to come J-)

  • Really digging that...

    Lacquer over original paint, get everything mechanically sound, new tyres etc and call it done!

  • Now built and going to clean up gently - well pleased with it.

  • That is so awesome. I would love to have a rat like that, instead my "rat" dolan precursa with risers and deep rims....

  • Nice - you have pic?

  • Slight cleaning in progress, some bonty tape fitted over old one!
