Ok folks here's a quick pic from the Bertin in its currently fully overhauled state.


Every bearing is new with fresh grease and adjustments, all new cables/housing/ferrules all around, new red cotton bar tape, its all done!


Everything seems to be original except for the MKS steel toe clips and Christophe straps which I added.


Future plans include new tires (this week), full fenders (I live in Olympia), and re-lacing the front wheel (rusty spokes/out of true).


I'll probably get some saddlebag/bar bag action going too so the bike's more useful.


And I've been watching my young kids today and haven't even had a chance to ride it, later today will be the maiden voyage!!


thanks for the info some of ya'll have provided,
