Picked this up from Nottingham last night and I can't believe how quick the thing is

It needs a good clean and a few little things doing here and there cosmetically but Im pleased with it

Big thanks to TomH of migweb

I reckon you should leave it as it is. Maybe take an arch off completely and put an odd wheel on it then it will be a true sleeper
