Well done for taking this project on.

They were a teriffic bike in their day and still are.Why not post pictures of the progress as you go on(If you have time).We have lost so many classic names and a lot have been skipped by people who didnt know what they had or had found.Thes old bikes marked good old engineering..​

Keep up the good work and good luck.

Well we delivered this yesterday He seemed quite pleased - He didn't actually recognise it as his old bike at first though!

Here she is Turned out quite nicely. VERY smooth ride, it has made me want a steel frame (ignore the angle of the bars in that photo!)

Full set of photo's of the frame pre-build is here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/smeracing/sets/72157631371703308/

Seemed to enjoy riding it again . . . might need better footwear than slippers though.

What a superb job; the grin on your FiL face says it all!

Beautiful job, seeing the bike in the flesh, I dont think this is a Flyer now. Possibly a Catalina or one of the derivatives of that model.

Thanks

Hehe aye. The Mrs and I have had many debates about it, hence the lack of model name on the top tube
