Newbie in this forum
I'm a newbie user of the Bike Forums, I'm from Spain and I liked very much all kind of bycicles since where I was a child.
I must all congratulate all you for this fantastic forum, and I think it will be very helpful for me, because in my country doesn't exists any interest on old/vintage bycicles, and in my country is virtually impossible to find replacement parts, information or help about it.
I'm especially interested on "survivor" bycicles, old bycicles that remains unrestored. I like near to junk bycicles too..
I would like to know what do you think about unrestored old bycicles, I will post some pictures of some bycicles I have.
Tnaks for all and regards from Spain!

Bicycles do just fine without restoration... Restoration is a different hobby than riding, although most people restoring bikes also happen to ride them.

I enjoy repairing bycicles too, but never undertake a complete restauration restoration. Rather I do works on my bikes to allow using them and trying to improve his apperance without undertaken a complete restauration.
Anyway, I love most of the restored bycicles I have seen in this forum.

Welcome to the forum. I'm surprised that someone from Spain couldn't find any parts considering they are the home of Zeus who made very nice bikes and parts.
