Patina is good, lets see some photos of your old bikes/brooks/ideale
I like the looks of a well ridden weathered bike. My favorites I have seen on the street are an old Argos,Coppi and Raleigh.
There is something about a bicycle that has an original owner patina developed on it. A well used bike is most pretty to me. Lets see some photos of your complete patina bikes and your broken in leather seats.
