Wow thats a blast from the past, one of my best friends at school had that bike back in the late 70's

Very nice. Did you get it professionally repainted, or has the original paintwork just survived well?

 

[Spokesmann]

Love it, although Im not sure about those bars...

i got it pro resprayed,i will have to take some more pics once i have the double chain ring ect fitted, i also have a ultralite pump to mount, i also added a nos Blumells rear reflector as it would have had one when new , i didnt like that type of rear reflectors, tho now i think they have a bit of late 70,s charm about them!

very nice and good to see

That's very nice. Interesting to see the old dynamo rear lamp on there. Only thing I'd do differently myself would be to mount the seat clamp the other way around... just my own personal preference.

I had one around 1972/3. Light purple lilac colour with those same silly short 'mudguards' and Wienman centre pull brakes.
I thought it was the dogs ******** at the time, and so did several others. Went like the wind until someone opened a car door on me. Then back to the RSW16!

Love that green paint, I wonder if there's any spray paint that would come close to that. Wouldn't be anything like your pro respray but I'm really liking that colour.

The colour is the same mix as the ford fiesta witch came out about 3 year years ago. It's called squeeze Green.

Ford Fiesta squeeze Green is the colour almost a per fect match to Polycromatic Green.

Thanks for that. Really looks original 70s, lovely job
