I’m on the fence about how to approach this one.
I added the Christy because I always wanted to see a Christy racer on an original Barnes. I did that and that was cool.
I do have what I believe is the original Garford saddle that I will likely put back in place as time has seen fit to leave it.
My initial plan was to do a light cleaning of the painted parts and a give the brightwork a good cleaning and reassemble as seen but clean. The more I look at the bike though, the more I think I may just leave it as found bit adjusted and w/ grips which was the only missing piece when discovered “in the rough.”
Given the wheels and tires appear original, I could never cut them apart and relace these hubs for riding. For now I’ll enjoy it as it sits. Once I mount the original saddle I will post another round of pictures.
