Picked up this frame today as a start for a SS project for the missus. Will update as it progresses

First thing's first, any recommendations for a sandblaster/powdercoater NOR in WA?

Cheers

Due to unforeseen circumstances this build isn't going ahead.
If anyone is interested in making something of this frame please see here:

Thanks

Geez, hope that doesn't mean the missus has left ya?

The frame will be most welcome here, $0.

Or, R&L Sand blasting and Powder coating in Osborne Park!

Hiya,

I used to own this frame and my mum was looking after it for me while I was away. Anyway she gave it away last yr at a garage sale at her place in fremantle and I always wondered what became of it. Did anyone end up fixing it up? if so do you have any pictures?

I bought it from a lady in Melville just under a year ago, I am fairly certain she was sourcing frames/bikes from around the place and reselling them as she had a number of other bikes/frames for sale on gumtree at the time.
I ended up selling it to an enthusiastic guy who drove up all the way from Waikiki. He said he was into restoring old bikes and selling them.
I've kept a lookout on gumtree since to see whether it has received any love and looking to go to a new home.

Sucks that your mum gave it away, did you also have restoration plans for it? Perfect frame for retro project

Speak of the devil... just spotted it on gumtree then (same guy selling the same bike)
