I have just acquired a Flying Scot bike. the frame is a bit rusty. The frame number is H1. It has nut fixing brakes, brazed on gear levers, bottle bosses, and top tube cable guides. I am guessing that it is from about 1980-82? It is badged as a Continental model and the head badge is "The Scot" rather than "Flying Scot" I am wondering how far to go with restoration. i have heard of a web site run by a Bob Reid from Stonehaven, but it appears to be down. Does anyone know his current status?

Why do you need Bob Reid to tell you how far to go?0

The flying Scot had a more racey geometry, The Scot was more of a touring oriented bike AFAIK.And now you know, and knowing is half the battle
