I recently acquired this bike and decided to infuse it with a touch of creativity by embracing its existing 42 years of rust and wear. I opted for a Kintsugi gold treatment, resulting in the transformation you see here.
I picked up the 912 last week and have already gone through the group set and dialed it in, lubed it, cleaned it, added some luster back to the metal… and cleaned up the wheels to my liking.
Currently, I’m torn between the bippu-style Selle Italia Turbo Bonnie saddle, or the Brooks B17.
I must say, the Selle Italia saddle elevates the bike’s overall aesthetic.
