I ride vintage steel road bikes and a few of my bikes have been modified or upgraded. The latest build is maybe my most modified build yet, is it the same bike? I have no idea because when I got it , the wheels were missing, the cranks were not matching, the derailleurs were not original, and the brake levers were not correct. I took it to the next level only in a good way. The paint was starting to bubble around the top tube cable guides so I had the frame media blasted and powder painted to close to original color but put seventies style graphics from the same manufacturer (Motobecane) . I then built it up with seventies Campy NR components and a nice Brooks saddle. I never rode the bike before I got it but I would venture to say it ain’t nothing like it was.
