First go at saving an old bike.

Some tweaks, cleaning and a test run tomorrow and that's it.

And this is my old bike.

Lost the link to the forum and only just found it again today.

Had another go at cleaning up the frame and used spray primer and spray paint, some I had left from the proton I had.
Also gave it a coating of clear lacquer to protect it.

Put the old racing handlebars back on and dubbled taped them for added protection for my hands as they get sore when cycling any distance with the old grips.

Changed the white saddle to a spare black one I had as the white one was showing up the black marks and couldn't get it cleaned up enough.

Got some secondhand break leavers as the ones it had, has a bit missing from the top I think, to hold the cable.

Replaced the crank wheel (if I got the part name right) as the old one did not want the new pedals or even the old ones to screw on again.
I had bother before with it.

Painted it silk green, but the pictures have a blue tinge to them.

I'm intrigued as to why you have the stems near vertical, with the bars higher than the saddles, on all of your bikes.

Lower and my back starts to get stiff and sore.

Don't think it's just old age, because if I sleep too long, my back starts getting stiff and sore.
The longer I stay in bed, the worse it gets till I have to get up.
