Great stuff......have fun gettin the seat post out.
Post some pics once you've cleaned up the frame & forks.....It will be interesting to see what condition the nickel plating is in.
quote:lol how did you know? I've just stripped it down and the only thing left is half a seatpole stuck in the frame!!!!

That thing is rough I am sure it will be a beauty when you get done with it.
If you already have several, just leave it like that and mount it to the wall for a conversation piece.
That is one reason I love this hobby...
only "we" would be able to see the beauty that lies within that pile.
Great save.

I bet it won't look like that for long....!
Hey Reece, wow another excellent find......are you planning on selling some of the parts or spliting it up? I guess you know I need some forks for that (Ahem) new project bike
As far as the seat post goes, I have a bench vice with a pipe clamp attatchment. Soak it in WD-40 or something to break the rust. Clamp the seat post in the vice and twist the frame. I have also tried to pound the post into the frame a little with a hammer to break the rust so it can move. Good luck with an awesome find.
