Here's a picture off the web of my 1st bike, mine was same except it had more rust and dents. We used to have races using the pedals.

I do remember doing a little hedge surfing on it once, didn't do much harm.

Finally on the home straight with the RD. Still got some niggles like a permanently live brake and a few other bits but generally it now looks like a bike. If you want to see the before scroll back to the first picture in the thread. Big thanks to Gee for the paint really happy I went for red. I know it's not 100% original looking, it was never intended to be and still undecided about a pair of 70's style spannies. Cost gave up counting and some parts are nearly impossible to find due to Brexit, transport crisis, COVID etc.
