Less of a current project, more complete however I may add a few bits thinking some slicker tyres. Its a toss up between originality and custom I suppose. Im not a purist.
I bought this off Ebay a few weeks ago. It was in good overall condition and I figured a light resto would sort it out.
Its original paint, considering its 28 years old its fared pretty well. I got some Tioga Competition tyres for it as the originals were perished. Some new Shimano DX copies, bars were powder coated. A new set of brake levers some Odi mushrooms, new padset, decals, layback post and a re relased Aeroyal saddle.
A good polish and that's it finished. It makes me smile every time I open the garage. I do get some funny looks when I go to the shops on it though.
It makes me feel like a kid again.
Anyway now that its finished I just wanted to show it off.
