My ongoing quarantine project is this 60's/70's bike. Was in a very bad shape, with rusty parts and paint in bad condition. I'm cleaning / derusting /polishing / greasing ... everything into detail, in order to end up with a bike full of battlescars but technically in very good condition. Feels a bit like preparing this bike for his well-deserved retirement. Takes some time though.
The paint is original and in a bad state. I've removed al the rust and deepcleaned everything. Afterwards, a layer of 2K clear coat to preserve the battle scars.
Group will be an early Record group (from 1963 - +/-1970) with bar end shifters and high flange hubs. Also Universal brakes and Brooks sadle.
