Got this bike for £5. Needs quite a bit of work on it but I've been wanting to do a restoration for quite some time.
Hopefully I'll be able to get the bike running again and my friend can have it. It has some rust pitting so it will have to be stripped to the bare metal and resprayed. Probably the worst part of the bike are the wheels. I'm not sure if they'll clean up or not and it needs a new derailleur and chain (among other things). Some of it is salvageable with a good clean. Wish me luck
It's a Falcon Sorrento so probably dates from the 1970s/1980s.
