I’ve found this bike in June after my search in May.

I’ve got it from a man who once used it for his ride to the pub. The last couple of years it stood outside. So… the tires were gone and the saddle was gone.

After a good polish this nice bike comes alive. I’ve just finished it. I can’t wait riding it :lol: .

I took her out for a test-drive.... she drives like a new bike.... but... she brakes like an old one. I've got to fix that.

Got some new pics.
