Vintage? Vintage enough for me ;)
I allready posted some topics about sub projects but now i'm finished. This is my commuter bike and after the BB broke down i decided i rebuild it. I thought about repainting it because the frame was stripped down completely but i thought.. well a rusty purple bike has also his charm ;)
Although it has some rusty spots on the frame en the hubs its a miracle what some sanding paper/chrome polish and a steelbrush can do.. Not clear on the photos but here in my house everybody is blinded by the reflections of the 600 RD and the stem/dropbar ;) Also unbelievable the difference a new bar tape makes
Total cost: 0 euro! (i had all parts around waiting for this project)
Thx everyone for the help in the other topics!

disclaimer: nothing special, but i like it that the $0 worth bike is personally improved to a higher level, very satisfactory
