thedawnpatrol Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Well, i have just started the strip down of my 16H, here are some pictures, i started with the fuel tank, saddle, panniers etc, surprising how heavy this bike is ! it has had 3 or 4 coats of paint in its life, i carefully stripped the paint on the tank, but under the Nato green was a Brown colour, under that a brighter green, then Red Oxide, and metal, there were no signs of markings, the rest of the frame has reveiled directly under the NATO Green, a Deep Bronze green which is applied directly onto the metal. As it was built in 1940, i guess this would be its correct colour ? Never restored a bike before so it's all new to me. I want it get it back so i can blast the frame and start again. this is about 3 hours work today. I have also got both wheels off now.
