Very nice Bill!
Look forward to seeing it some day.
Here's a couple quick shots of it how it sits now. It was originally black paint with chrome lugs, half lower fork chrome ( chrome fork crown ) and half seat and chain stay chrome. I did a light paint over the original and made my own decals. I'm going to lightly strip this down to the original chrome and paint to see what it looks like because it's been over 30 yrs since I last saw it in its original form. I remember the chrome was starting to flake off on the lower head nervex lug and that's why I painted it to give it my own look. It will be back to correct period form when I finish though. I also got a set of period correct Prior high flange hubs for it and Stronglight #55 track cranks. I'm starting to get excited about this one. This being the very early 1950's and really nothing to go on for an original track bike, I'm hoping the decals are all correct. The main "ABertin" decal is the match to the original.
