After a few hours of love and elbow grease I finished my first resto project. As I said this bike is to small to be ride that is why I decided to keep it at living room until a right sized steel italian frames appears and becomes my vintage ride. Some pics to your consideration.

The better part of this project is the obstacles I have found. I decided not to restore the bike to the original specifications due to the lack of information and resources in general, so my best shot is assume this as a rolling project or a long term one. After spend some time looking the frame...

Yes I plan to keep it Yes is the original paint The paint could be better, much better No I do not think Clean and polish will be enough No is not that bad perhaps the head tube must be paint it The paint is in fact the less challenging to me, what most concern is the wheels because I do not...

No news about the brand or year of my mystery project, although I decided to go ahead and look for the missing parts like a seatpost, shifters and wheels but after pull out the plastic cover os the shifter I will keep them but the rims I found for the wheels a set of Ambrosio Balance will not...

Thanks TGR and torqueless for your responses is sad when you post and nobody says something. I just found a forum of classic bicycles from spain I already send some pics to see if somebody realized which frame it is, I will let you know if I get news

Hi torqueless answering your questions, I found no evidence of the frame have been repaired just clumsily painted as you said.The red color is a later and who knows why addition, judging from what I saw the original color scheme was green/blue with orange accents, the seatpost diameter is for...

In the fork closeup the brake caliper seems to match perfectly with the 27" wheel, do you think could work with a 700c wheel or is just the tire size that makes impossible to fit the rear wheel with the tire inflated

After a fast clean no new marks were found but zenith 1054 at the BB and the ZEU in the dropouts, bottom bracket made by Zeus118x55c. No rear derailleur date just "patent". Seatpost diameter 26.2 mm. All bikes in Venezuela used to be imported. Rear dropout space 120 mm Head/top/down tube joint...

Ok there is a few more pics in other to try put a name to my new frame. I took some pictures of the wheels clearance because I doubt it was original design to use 27" since I had to deflate the rear wheel in order to put it on, enjoy the view and while you are guessing what is it I will start...

As you suggest I will tear it down then clean all parts in the process I will look for more clues and of course more pictures of the cleaned parts but the zenith stamped in the bottom bracket tube made me did some search over the www but I found nothing. I will try better pics of the whole frame...

Hy guys I am back, this is like an addiction :lol: ,today I found an old bike in a friend's deposit. He said to me that back in the late '70s his father bought this second hand bike to him. The frame was painted and also appear to be repaired, the components is a mix of the era I already check...

Well as I said the area were the pics where taken is very remote and isolated, almost pristine in certain parts, in fact there are places you simply can not get there, we were over a path through the mountains and the valley in the the pic #3 is more far away than it appears is a kind of...

hahaha very funny Richard where are you from and what kind of pictures do you want from Venezuela or maybe a particular kind of info. Thanks for the welcome and here is some pictures of my last MTB travel last January to the mountains located in the Venezuelan Andes when we ride between 3500 and...

Yes, at least as far as I can see. Since this project is just for the pleasure of the view ( it is not to be ride) any trick to visually repair the carbon fiber tubes

Hello folks This is my new project a unknown frame made by Guerciotti with Athen Campagnolo group I received this bike from a friend of mine who received it from another friend so I do not nothing about it. I have been searching in the web and the group set a mix of Athen and Chorus are dated in...
