This bicycle I purchased 10 or so yrs. ago on Ebay as an "Original Paint" frame and fork. It really wasn't, and we all know how that goes. I built it up for a good friend who had it a few years and kinda thrashed it. The photo below is the bike running. Very fast ride that I got on a bit before handing it over to him. There was just something about it I liked.
2 years later I got my hands on it to do a maintenance once-over. It was damaged by some bike mechanics who did not understand the Sturmey S3C rear hub. They also cross-threaded the fork steer tube threads.
So, I gave him a bike that was less sensitive . I took the Flyer back, stripped it, and it has sat for the last 4 years. I got at it last year and fouind there was some OG paint under the two other layers of "OG" paint. I wet-sand-stripped the frame, and this is how it looks generally today. I have a plan to bring this frame into the 21st century!...skpc
I'll be back in the next coupla days with more photos and the fork I needed.skpc
