It usually pays off, since the resulting bike is better than could be purchased new for the cost of the bike and upgrades.
In this case, that is a stunning pair of bikes!
Wonderful job!!!
Thanks for all the complements everybody!!!
Exactly... the complete bike(s) cost less than just the Honjo fender set(s)! They ride really nice and the Suntour stuff shifts smooth as silk.
The bag is from Velo-Orange! I am definitely inspired by the constructeurs... my next project is near completion... a 1975 Grand Record that will get a similar treatment... except the Phillippe bars will stay and the brakes will be upgraded to a set of MAFAC gold competitions.
