It has, as we re-interpreters of the French language insist, a certain "je ne sais quoi" . You just have to believe it

Once the rear wheel is rebuilt i will ride it and use it to test the components fitted to it then either transfer them across to a more worthy frameset or ??

TBH I'd just laquer that for the time being while I decided on an olive green powder coat.

I was wondering if the lime green colour might have have been an etch primer ?

Quick update pulled all the components of this today , even the cotter pins just fell out with 1 shake of the hammer .

Quick update got a text yesterday to say That Boris Blasting had finished with the frame and it was ready for collection.

Looks good in the flesh .

What does the frame weigh now it's completely bare? Given it's not lugged, which is unusual given it's era, are you thinking it's just plain-gauge hi-tensile or something nicer and lighter?

Not weighed it in all fairness it's listed as Amalgam frame material in an online brochure i will try and remember to weigh it before dropping it off at powder coaters

 

[Illaveago]

You would think that the type of construction would have made it more difficult in production and more time consuming ?
