BEFORE

I travelled an hour to pick up this one. It was in rough shape but the bones were amazing and it had an almost complete Campagnolo Nuovo Record groupset.  It was looking rather sad with the dull silver and blue paint and I new I could restore it to its former glory and make it happy again.

AFTER

This bike was one of my favourite builds because I fell in love with the paint job.  It's true to the original but with more vibrant silver and blue.  The colours go so well with the new headbadge, too!  I've taken this bike on a few test rides now and it is absolutely lovely to ride.  It's so smooth and quiet, gliding over the bumps and imperfections in the road.  I'd love to keep it for myself, but I can't keep them all!
