Rebuild / Restoration First Attempt

Posted on
  • Hi,

    This is my first foray into restoring / rebuilding a fixed wheel bike.
    The bike was purcased on ebay as a complete bike ready to go for £68, the frame which is a Chas Bland handbuilt frame made from 531 had Cinelli dropouts, lugs etc so in it's day was a well built bike. When it arrived it had obviously seen better days the rear right hand dropout had been repaired at some point. I decided I wantyed to get the frame resprayed and built back up for use on the track, I may try it on the road not sure yet.

    I decided to paint the bike in the same colours as the club I'm a member of and as I couldn't get any Chas Bland decals had some made up with the club initials on it. I hope you like the bulid I'm really pleased how it's turned out
