After riding this bike for over 5 years, almost daily, with hardly any maintenance, it came to the point where everything was running quite poorly, and needed proper comprehensive refurb to counteract the shameful lack of care...
So about a year ago I took it all apart to, with the ambition to get a new paint job by Mario, at the same time as having the custom stem and forks sprayed. Except I never got the time, didn't know what colour to go for (still don't), and started commuting on the road bike instead, while the poor Varonha frame was just been hanging neglected in the garage. Nonsense, it's my favorite/best bike.
So I'm now decided to make this happen. I've started to dig out the parts I've been collecting for it, and to visualise the build on my head. It's still all a bit fuzzy, but I've thrown the wheelset and bars to have something to push against.
