On the frame, look for small cracks in the paint around the lugs, especially the head tube lugs. That will tell if the frame is...

If that turns out to be the case then I won’t build this one. If the fork was damaged that bad then the frame is probably bad too.

The croc material showed up. It was a big piece for 4 bucks. I cut out both sides and glued them on. I may or may not use gold rivets...

I don’t want to start a build thread yet as I don’t know if I’ll have time for it but I dug out my Raleigh Superbe. I have ridden this...

The mixte looks like it was cannibalized for another bike, as it doesn't show any signs of abuse, the seat isn't scuffed and the fenders...

Yeah, the BO deadline maybe, but MY deadline is Sept. 30th, as by then my wife needs this ride... :wink1: 🤘
