Hi folks,
I'm new here, and I have just got my first retro bike. I picked this up for £50. I'm pretty sure I got a good deal, judging by the going 'EBay' rate. I'm a fan of all things retro so looking forward to getting stuck into this project.
I've been down to my local cycle cooperative to begin dismantling it so I can get the frame powder coated. My plans are for a white frame with new decals, new Michelin tyres (keeping it French) and a Brooks B17 saddle. I'm thinking of swapping to a different style handle bar. Undecided yet, though.
