ok, nyk, i want that....lol
my gen one was pretty much the same as that when i got it....maybe a tad cleaner, but that will restore lovely, the decals are available from biagio, although i feel, they too would clean up with a bit of spirit solvent..
fine wire wool, 0000 grade, and some peek or wonder chrome will bring it back to life beautifully, dont go to made with the wire wool, just use it to remove the surface rust.
thats a bloody lovely old surviver you got there fella, just needs a nice three piece crank on it, well smart
thanks for sharing
would look lovely in the rombloke museum, alongside these......

haro, how do you do

So - forks are off, bars are off - must have got one of every type of metal cleaner and a tin of Nitro - watch this space...!

Try not to use Autosol unless absolutely necessary (it's a bit coarse).  :daumenhoch:
