Although it seems to run okay a strip down was needed as the frame was out of alignment.
Having stripped it down, with some difficulty, there were a few cracks as well that needed sorting
and the old spindle was seized solid as well.
As it was the hollow type it had probably bent making further removal even more difficult.
Nasty crack in the down tube
Major surgery was carried out by Dave Higgins whose invisible repair and spindle brackets and straightening will give the bike a new lease of life.
Thanks Dave
Not as hard a life as it has had to get into the state it was
Once I have checked the wheel alignment it is off to be powder coated.
