I'm not sure if the guy I got it from did it or not, he was a bit cagey about it. I would be embarrassed too. He stripped it for a Raleigh royale or something, which this is near identical to in terms of components
anyway. it looks like this now
Needs some more tidying up around the lugs, but otherwise its alright considering. I have enough old bits to get it ridable left over from an old 10 speed, but realised I don't own a 20 pt bottom bracket tool. So it will have to wait till then. I just threw some parts on it to see how it looks. The joins seem strong, I cant get them to flex or creak or anything, and I actually just surfed it down the driveway like that to see how she rolls. It could be better than I had expected
