I'm actually making progress, it's been kinda fun unraveling the mystery.
Yup, that's what I said. Restoring, or more appropriately in my case, refurbishing vintage bicycles is FUN! That said, I have a great rider and I could care less if I ride the old school steeds. I always test ride any bike that I build, for sure, to ensure that everything is working perfectly then, who knows. This sits on display where no one will ever see it, except me...
And this one is going to be parted out soon. Selling bikes in Thunder Bay is darn near impossible. Shipping costs to anywhere are very high. With that in mind, better to part out and find new homes for all the bits and pieces...
How about a NOS take off Legnano cottered crank set and matching bottom bracket...
Anyway, this was my rider but I gave it away to a family member in the Spring of this year...
And I replaced it with this, just my size Marinoni and extremely well fitted with quality components...
