Touring frame

Could be nice if you have the time and patience to resto it.

Been meaning to post this, I kinda like the look of it. If it was my size I might’ve considered it.

BUT: I’m wondering if it’s had a front-end crash at some point, there could be a slight kink behind the front lugs. Might be wrong.
Also, restoring it would lose those sweet dutch decals, which is a main reason for wanting it in the first place.

Yeah I thought that about the decals, you could have them remade possibly?

The other thing I meant to post on the OP was this,

I think it has really nice patina … but that’s about it. Looks like the decals were made in Holland but the frameset is bog stock low spec mid 70’s Japanese (and not good Japanese either, which it mostly was). Clunker, not worth spending time or money.
