wow nice to know theres still some c/c out there...not see another one since about 1989,as promised heres some pic's so far of the build/restore

right ok this is when i first went in to my mums loft to find her (c/c)

ok after getting her out of the loft i sat her in some white vinager for 24hours

then wash her down with some water and f/liquid

after this i dryed her and hug her up nex day i sprayed her with a degreaser and washed back down

ive masked her up ready for paintinga,,she came up all right after her pampering..lol

iv gave her 4 layers of primer each layer had a rub down with wet and dry using hot water and f/liquid and dryed well and left each time (its all about preparation preparation oh and ....yes you guest it preparation

i have done my first layer of top today tomorow i will lighty rub down with wet and dry 2000* will keep you all posted on the build and hope you all can help with getting her back on the road

Hello and welcome mate, I only got back into this in april after 20+ years out, since then I have built 4 bikes. I thought at the time that I would just get a goose to play out on then everything went crazy and I had to have more. love it

I also had a CC back in the day. loved that bike to bits. wish i knew where she was now. Probably resting in peace somewhere in a landfill

Wicked thread.. I love Prolite CC's. Best frame ever. miss mine terribly now. One sold on fleabay for 205 quid last night
Keep us in the loop on the resto.
Amazing that stop in the street thing.. I was walking along the road (to put air in the tyres) with my resto'd 87 Haro Master and a guy stopped his car and asked if I was selling it.. he had a Master with redline flights, then a sport etc... he'll be on here soon

Nice choice of wheels at your mums too, but surely the CC will get tuffs
