always loved this color……
The corncob clusters look very cool however kind of useless (no easy gears) I like those HUGE ones today… which would look horrible on a old classic.
Moin…Wieder so ein wunderschönen Klassiker gerettet 😊 Sieht super aus….
Mein Wanderer is mittlerweile auch fertig👍🏻
Schöne Grüße Alex ⚓️
Great job! One question: what kind of tires did you install? I'm sure they were cotton tubes. Thanks.
Очень приятный велосипед! 👍
Good job))
Non ne vale la pena. Il telaio e i componenti non valgono nulla.
