Lambert Grand Prix Professional - Gold Plated

We all need good diversions during these challenging times and I offer this!

Here is a first photo of one of this past winter's projects, the restoration of a Lambert GPP Gold Plated. As far as I can tell, it is stock with the only non-Lambert items being the tires, chain, bar tape and Mavic rims. The tires still hold air - at least up to 60 PSI as I dare not go higher unless I want to repair a sew-up. The bike had been ridden in the 1970s and then hung up in a garage/barn. Received the bike with a good deal of corrosion, dirt and grime and carefully cleaned it without trying to remove too much of the plating. It does have the original Death Fork along with a spare set of wheels (Mavic rims with Lambert hubs).

Fascinating history attached to this unusual bike. I'll post more photos later today as the lighting conditions improve.

BTW, any idea what this might be worth?

Best regards to all!
