Pre 48 ?? number on Bottom Bracket , Drop center rims , Skip tooth. Will look good next to my other cycle truck. Bought from the original owner. To bad it was spray bombed.

if it wasn't prepped properly you may be able to get the original paint back- use some wire wool and either t-cut or cellulouse thinners. gets it of a treat. just don't go crazy. doesn't seem to touch the factory paint.
nice bike btw, reminds me of the old butchers bikes from over here

Well I can not beleive the results after using the Xylol Xylene solvent as suggested in the posts above. I tried it on the headbadge , it had two thick coats of spray paint on it. Rubbed for 5 mins and it came out great , did not even touch the original paint. You would not beleive me if I told you how much original cycle truck head badges go for. Can`t wait to do the rest of the bike. I am now a follower of

Xylol .
