The first restoration project I ever did. My dad and I built it when I was in Jr. High. It started out life as this:
My dad's old 1967 Huffy Eldorado.
We built it do what I wanted and it's pretty much what he would have done to it back in the day. It was a complete frame off restoration, here is the frame that I hand stripped down to the steel using only sand paper and sanding blocks.
Just look at that brazing, we almost just cleared over it. But we used a rattle can enamel for a tougher finish.
Motorcycle style forks, just because.
The pedals, sprocket, and chain are all original, just cleaned up.
Notice what's in the background. Yes, that is the Pinto Wagon...

Nice, id like to know how to restore things.
I got a mountain bike 29er, it looks kind of ridiculous but the 26's are kind of on their way out, so the bike shop told me it will get difficult later to get spare parts.

I use my bike daily for school, and so far I had
A Fongers, held together by ductape and rust, got it for free and sold it 6 months later for 40 euro.
A WBR, got it for free, and now it is my sisters.
Now I have a Gazelle Speciaal.
