Vintage / Retro Folding Bike Bespoke Restoration With Warranty
Hi folks For sale is this fully restored vintage folding bike. The frame and forks were stripped back to bare metal to check structural integrity. They were then given a surface rust treatment to form the patina shown in the photos, followed by a protective coating to seal the metal. It looks so good in real life, with the added bonus of deterring bike thieves. The old, poor quality brakes were totally removed for a very clean look without cables etc. In their place I built a brand new Velosteel coaster hub into the rear wheel, giving backpedal braking. All other parts are totally original. Where the chrome had given way to that beautiful patina, I removed the surface rust before sealing again. It looks fantastic in real life, full of character. I finished it off with new white grips and new Kenda whitewall tyres. It's a LOT of fun to ride. Very nimble and fast, perfect for popping to the shops or if you have a caravan etc. for your holidays. A mesh basket on the rear rack would be ideal. I will consider sensible offers. I have been a bike mechanic and wheel builder for almost 18 years. You can trust my work. To back this up, I'll include a 6 month labour warranty with this bike. Any questions, please feel free to ask. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
