Welcome to the forum, Scottie. Plenty of help on here from people who race or restore their Greeves'.

Do consider joining the Greeves Riders Association; there is a great deal of Greeves knowhow there.

If you tell us the frame number we'll tell you exactly what year and model the bike is. (Left side of steering head, punched into the alloy beam).

Och that's easy. Just take everything apart, strip the old paint off and re- finish the lot, then replace all the worn out bits & reassemble in reverse order -

Then in around twenty years time you will be ready to go...............

Welcome aboard.

Hi.....photos first. Click on the "Post Reply" button as normal, write your text and then scroll down beyond the submit button to "Manage Attachments" Click on this and a new box appears. Click on "Choose file" and select your pic from your Photo File, then hit "Upload". You can post a few pics by doing this procedure several times. Once all pics are uploaded, click on "Close this box", then finish by clicking on the "Submit Reply" as normal.

As for the re-build, you can use the website search facility to find the relevant points. It will take a bit of practice, but most info is there.......somewhere!

Don't think I can post attachments. Thanks anyway

[Brian Catt]

AHHH.....maybe because you are only a "Basic User", i.e. not a registered GRA member.
