Hello. I bought this bike for 30$. For starting a new project was absolutely a stunning price.
The option now are those:
1- restore keep it original , polishing and apply the clear coat.
2-fully restore with a special paint job (i was thinking to mimic the Klein white base with 3 primary color splatter , called "graffiti" or another different and nice paint job. Keep the parts and the functionality of the bike.
2- new paint job and upgrade with some modern parts.
3- gravel drop bar with 1x setup (probably plus new paint job).
4- original paint job + clear coat and then a full tracklocross setup with flipflop hub.
The bike is still traveling , probably the postal service will delivery to my home tomorrow. But i can't stop thinking to play with it.
