BSA pathracer my first big resto thoughts?

[BSAMase]

I think certainly earlier than 1930. Probably had a front spoon brake. I suspect the sprocket and chainset might not be original.

Thats exactly my thoughts ill show a photo later of the four old bolts holding sprocket on definetly a later sprocket id say mate

That's a lovely old thing. I'd go for a repaint or powered coat myself - there ain't , much of the original finish left so I wouldn't feel guilty. T'is a personal thing though.

True its a shame you can see old pin striping in areas but dont know if I can bring it back hope so

I used a wet wipe to remove the surface dirt and grime then a wipe down with white spirit soaked cloth then another wet wipe and then some cutting compound and polish on one i did recently , BUT BE WARNED my process worked on 60's paintwork and have never tried it on anything older so tread carefully

A toothbrush is good for getting into the tight spots.

For best results use the Wifes toothbrush, but rinse it thoroughly before putting it back.
