Thankyou 'all,' there have been some lovely offers of help and advice on this restoration.
With the mudguards off for cleaning, I took her out for a spin today under a sweltering English sun - lovely stuff!
I've just got a Lucas Bell for her. Other items on my 'to do' list are:
* Amber walled tyres (in that hard 26 and 1 1/4 size) Help!! please.
* Leather handlebar tape (cheapest is Brooks right now at Edinburgh Bike Shop of all places!! but still 'pricey!!').
* Respray (Cellulose Paint in Brit Racing Green - probably. Found a guy who will spray it for free, it's his profession and a friend of a friend thing! I just pay for the paints).
* Decals/Transfers - the head mount decal is so worn all I can make out is the SAXON word, but nothing else! any 'online pics' of 1938/39 Saxons, have a very different one with crossed swords - a puzzle to me right now).
