l want to see how these things should be done !!

You may find I'm not an exemplary role model for that! I'm pretty sure I'll muddle through though.

Hard to tell, but I think most parts should be redeemable from the photo. I may or may not repaint the frame, depending on what a close survey reveals - its a nice bike, but not that old or historically significant so I've no qualms on a repaint if I need to. I'm thinking a nice metallic copper perhaps?

I really need to wait until Saturday to do an in depth survey, but I can't resist making plans in my mind.

Is this a serious question?

Part rhetorical, part serious, indeedy.

I have just about got my Faggin into its constituent parts so instead of driving everyone nuts with questions of what to do next, l shall follow your experiences and learn from you ! Hope you won't mind a "virtual over the shoulder" watcher

Not at all, but be careful following any of my tips that may involve a hammer or fire.

Yes to a Rebuild thread

But a Giant No to a Repaint
(unless a clean up makes it look Worser)
