You're a madman btw. Well done.

Why ?

It has, as we re-interpreters of the French language insist, a certain "je ne sais quoi" . You just have to believe it :giggle:

Once the rear wheel is rebuilt i will ride it and use it to test the components fitted to it then either transfer them across to a more worthy frameset or ??

What does the frame weigh now it's completely bare? Given it's not lugged, which is unusual given it's era, are you thinking it's just plain-gauge hi-tensile or something nicer and lighter?

Not weighed it in all fairness it's listed as Amalgam frame material in an online brochure i will try and remember to weigh it before dropping it off at powder coaters
