The "Before" shot is after I gave it a tune up and put on a cool Bianchi seat. The "After" is my Beach/City Cruiser vibe I gave it. Those SunLite City tires and Surly Open Bars just changed the entire ride and feel to this bike. Nice bike!

Alley find 1973 Raleigh Super Course. Bare frame, sprayed pea soup green. Restored, fixed frame issues, repainted Toyota Spruce Mica. Longer description is in "Show us your Super Course" thread. Got the "before" and "after" pics switched, but you get the idea.

If you still have that Bianchi seat and are interested in selling, PM me. Been having a heck of a time finding one on the local CL.
That seat came off my '04 Eros that I use for my daily commuter. I swapped it out for a Brooks Flyer. Good luck.:thumb: |

Sorry, but I'm going to use it on a '92 Bianchi Project - 3 I just purchased a couple weeks ago. It's a bit rough looking, but has great bones and the Deore shifters and derailleurs work well. When finished, I'll probably have another post to contribute here. :)

Picked up this frame last year, built it up from my parts bin. No thing of beauty and it's a bit on the small side but it rides like a dream.

What was the reason for the repaint? aesthetics or necessity?
Looks very nice, BTW! |

Thanks. The paint was tired, scratched and rusty.

Did you paint it yourself? I'm also looking at stripping and painting my old scratched up Trek as well.

BEFORE
1999 Marinoni saved-from-the-recycling-bin (last Tuesday) due to large top tube dent. Originally a Dura-Ace bike. Columbus MAX tubing (with EL unicrown fork). Dirty, sad, dented, they asked if I wanted to have it and after getting over being asked if one wants a Marinoni, I said of course! Used a pair of busted inner tubes to secure fork to frame and frameset to myself as I hung it over my shoulders for the long trek home. This was her state when I got back to the Bat Cave: https://scontent.fsnc1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...69&oe=59F90423 https://scontent.fsnc1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...53&oe=59F3BAFF And this is her after it was all said and done a few days later. Fantastic and beautiful bike! https://scontent.fsnc1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...3b&oe=59F8E683 https://scontent.fsnc1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...fd&oe=59C72539 https://scontent.fsnc1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...57&oe=59C652C6 |

Amazing how "proper" a vintage bike looks with modern components. Looks very sharp, @Viperplayer5220.

A friend needed help getting a bike ready for sale. It came to me like this
[IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4167/...2748cf57_k.jpgThe Frame as it came to me by Ryan Surface, on Flickr[/IMG] Finished the work to get it presentable today [IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4308/...24ff30e2_k.jpgIMG_1659 by Ryan Surface, on Flickr[/IMG] |
Sad that there is no longer any Splash cork tape on it anymore. :(
But job well done otherwise. :thumb: |
