Before and after
Comparison of condition at
the example of a 1960 Bianchi Specialissima. The bike
was first photographed like found and then again after an
intensely clean up. It was the effort for to preserve
as much substance as possible without exchange or renew parts,
paint, chrome or decals. Beside few former replaced or upgraded
parts like the Fibrax brake pads and some old paint touch
ups only tires, chain, front wheel and top race cap of headset
had been replaced. Unfortunately we did not find a correct
matching headset race then. Also the orignal front wheel
was cracked and had been replaced. |
