Have started re-building an old Puch Free Spirit that I bought for a £10.
I am a super cheap student so this is going to be a super cheap build, but have always wanted to do it/learn so I thought why not...
Started a thread here so people can help me out as I have a lot of little questions.
What the bike started out as (apologies for hipstergram pictures, proper ones to come)
Striped all the parts off
Sand blasted the frame
Primed it
And my dad's company re-store old cars, managed to get the paint guy to agree to paint the frame whenever he was painting a car. Only condition was that I couldn't pick the colour, think the blue looks pretty damn good though.
And thats where its currently at, will get some proper pictures up soon.
