Armstrong Consort

[funk2monk]

Found this bike in a very sorry state in a metal recycling yard. Have managed to strip it down and get all the paint off. Have purchased GB brakes, Cyclo Benelux gears, Williams chainset and replacement wheels.
Like the stem which i will re-use with drop bars.
Now looking to get repainted but not sure of colour? The yellow was much darker under transfers so this is looking to be the colour i think?
Has anyone else been involved with an early Armstrong? I think this is approx 1952?

Respect, you've got a real job on your hands there. Can't help I'm afraid but look forward to seeing the restoration pics.

Looks a nice project and that stem is sweet

What a wonderful old steed. Be great to see it live again.

Love that handlebar stem - not seen it before.

Thought we were about to here something new about Lance.
