cro mo f+f, DC clamp and caliper, suntour stem, ukai rims, suzue high flange hubs, maxy cross crank, shimano sx pedals, cracked kashi aero, tange fluted alloy post. I know diddley squat about nishiki. from the serial number it's from 1980 i guess.

Have you started doing anything to yours mate ??????
-
what from 4 years ago... :LolLolLolLol:
-
I know Sam but as i've now started restoring mine i'm looking for all the info i can get mate.
When i got mine it was minus the original Pads and grips, whilst i now know what pads it came with i'm unsure as to what grips should be on it.
Simon ( retrogeezer) he also has a frame set aswell as a complete bike. This topic came up on the search when i was looking for pictures of his said bikes to help in my quest to finish this as it would have come out of the factory.
-
no, it's just sat there looking a bit sad. :-[ never really planned owt with it. i tried del for decals not long ago, i'm gonna get him to do me a set when somebody else get's some done.
Si(retrogeezer) promised to dig his out and get me some pics/sizes for decals. but he let me down :P didn't you si :yahoo_silent:
it may get done eventually. unless anybody wants it? £150 posted for f+f and the redline stamped v bars.
-

I've PM'ed Del about them and says he can do them along as i send my original ones to him which won't be a problem. The only problem i can see will be the headtube one.
As soon as i find a colour match to the frame i'll remove mine and get Del on to the job. The only reason i haven't removed them already is the fact that if i can't match the colour i'll have to leave as a survivor. It's a burgundy sort of red. The closest i've come so far is Rover Nightfire red.
-
From memory rover did 3 versions of nightfire red. Have a look at Toyota's Vermillion red.

andy why dont you do what i do, take the frame to a cars colour matching
shop and they should be able to copy the colour for you :daumenhoch:
-
mines white, so that's easy peasy :D
the headtube badge looks like a transfer, maybe soaking it will get it off.
-
heres my neighbours bike from when he used to race ive tried many a time to get this for sam but he wont part with it and his son now and again gets it out the garage for a roll around

Funny enough i did today Dan but it was only a small one and thats who said about the Rover colour. They did tell me of another place in Southampton that was a lot bigger and could probably help me more but it was right over the other side of town and i was running out of time.
-
i reckon the bars, wheels/hubs, stem and clamp are original, mine had the exact same on.

yeah i think it's about the confidence in the guy who's going to match the colour,
the guy i use has matched them all, mattdubs ghp, a ripper for radman that had to
match his forks and again the same for fat pete quad :)
