yep thats it.
my dad used to supply the skips in the factory for the scrap iron.
i had 3 of these including a cruiser.
fookin hated that thing with a passion lol. everyone called it a bomber  ;D.

mine had red alloy brakes weimann type.
red alloy wheels with red snake belly tyres.
black standard straight handle bars.
and the pads sets were the same colour as the frame with the same script as the down tube sticker.

be cool to see this built up  :)

aha!

Got one of those too in the delayed process of being restored - turns out there's no way to get decals so mines ground to a halt and sitting in a box ready to be painted...

Hope you get sorted, lmk if you do
