Hmmm.....
it seems you folks have got me in trouble yet again!
Anyway, I seemed to have acquired this frame. (it does look lovely). (and my size of course)
So, my question is, what 'period correct' and most appropriate parts do I need to make this rideable? And do any of you have such parts available for a small fee?
Please respond off list.
Thanks and regards
