Hi.
Managed to get most parts on ebay, and they are mostly in new condition. Headlight, dynamo and rearlight are Soubitez. Brakes are Weinmann 810 (thanks Modsixty).
The saddle has to be restored at a saddler as iŽve not managed to find a optimal replacement on the market.
Currently looking for decals/stickers matching the original but no luck so far.

Does anyone know the backwheel dimensions? Also trying to find info regarding colour-code (orange). Anyone knows?

The frame will be sanded down and painted into original colour depending on if the correct code is found. If not i just have to go for whats closest.
The wheels has to be made from scratch due to heavy corrosion. I just hope weŽll find the rear-wheel dims.
The rest of the bike will be sent to be chromed.
To be continued...
