70’s Biscayne Road Bike has been fully restored. Just a steel framed, 2×5, road bike. It has French parts like the Maillard freewheel and the Rigida Chrolux 27” rims. The kickstand was made in Sweden as well as the included rear rack (not pictured). It has a fully restored SunTour drivetrain. The crank and chainrings are Japanese made.
Every inch has been cleaned, polished, and serviced, all original parts have been maintained. Specifically the wheels, drivetrain, brakes, cranks, handlebars, and saddle/post. All original hardware has been cleaned and preserved.
The paint has a patina but is not ugly in the slightest. No heavy rust eating the frame.

I probably put about a weeks worth of time, disassembling this, cleaning everything, polishing any corrosion and surface rust off the chrome, servicing and rebuilding, and buying parts for this bike. That’s about 40 Hours of manpower.
