  Hopefully pick it up this weekend, then start planning the rebuild. I want to keep the feel of an old bike, but also have something that's practical to use regularly.
  I've got a few ideas already: some NOS drop bars, a slim saddle and most likely strip down and respray.
  Should I keep the SA hub, assuming it works properly?
  Anyone got any other suggestions?

  Just spotted this, it's close enough for me to go pick it up at the weekend:

  It's a rubbish photo and the bike might need a bit of tidying, but with £15 BIN - why so cheap? Judging from the user profile doesn't look likely to be stolen...
