(post written in Amy's words)
In April 2012 I wrote a post about an old vintage bike we bought from Trade Me and were planning to do up. You can read the post
HERE.
After a final burst of motivation by Dave he finished the bike yesterday! (I say that he did because, to be honest, I pretty much did nothing to help with this project. I did some sanding of the guards and cleaned the wheels)
And here are more photos, in a general order, of the restoration process...
