Recently I did a couple overhauls for a customer to get the bicycles ready for sale. These where not restorations, more like a in depth tune ups. I wanted to show these for two reasons, first i want to show I work on everything and second they are just beautiful bicycles with some amazing components and a very interesting mix.
The first is a Basso, it was very dirty and had some rust in spots, I gave it a good cleaning, tune up and lubrication. It is a fantastic bike with an interesting mix of components. Dura Ace crank, Dura Ace derailleurs, shift levers and wheel hubs, Campagnolo brake calipers and Shimano 600 headset. I also changed the brake cable housings and added the handlebar tape. I love the chrome chain stays. The tires are sew ups, I could write a whole post just on sew ups so I will do that alter. I do have a few before photos but I am just going to post the after.

The second is a Serotta race bike with all Shimano 600 Components. This is such a cool bicycle, it was raced at one point. I love the Coors, Shimano and Power Bar race decals. This bicycle was also very dirty and was in bad need of a tune up. It turned out beautiful, I only put new handlebar tape and tires on it.
