Here I show you one of the many bikes that I have restored. This is a 1992 Orbea Succes MTB.
It was my bike from when I was a teenager, and I was sorry to have it hanging in my attic.

I changed the covers, cleaned all the rusty parts with aluminum foil and coke, replaced the foam on the handlebar with a foam for a baby stroller.

Also weld on a handlebar stem extension for a more comfortable position. I had to change the chair as it was very worn. I also replaced the brake shoes.

It is a bicycle frame made in Spain, made of steel, and it is eternal.

And so, I have enjoyed my usual bike again and it works phenomenally, since the Shimano shifters and brakes go perfectly.

Here I leave you a couple of photos.

So it was nothing else to restore it, with a MTB style.

that's how it was when I adapted it to go to work in the city. I changed the covers and put some saddlebags on it.
