ROYAL DERBY BIKE///RESTO

[Gdcast]

This is my good friend´s bike, he asked me if I could do something about her condition without changing the original look so...

Before...


Now...




What you think about her?
Head Badge Sticker...

 

[KOTA]

Nicely done!

 

[Markm]

coool!! Is that the original badge/sticker????

 

[Gdcast]

Apparently it was, unfortunately got destroyed by years of mistreatment, so I tried to do the best to restore it. :roll:

Awesome job! That was a nice color choice. Was that an attempt to bring back the original color of the bike?

And your seat restoration was particularly impressive! :wink:

It almost looks like two different bikes. Nicely done indeed.

And your friend was smart for wanting to keep it close to original. It's got a great look.

 

[blink]

is that a brooks saddle?

 

[Gdcast]

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

Brooks saddle? unfortunately not, chinese repro. ...but better than the thing it had

Original colour was found after dismantling the bike, I tried my best to recreate it and ended up pretty close. The paint job it had when it came in was a disaster my friend did trying to resemble the original. :|
