Alright, it hardly qualifies as a restoration but someone has to kick this off, I mean even the OP hasn't bothered to post any pics yet :wink:
It's an eighties Krapf, rusty and unrideable verge collection, now looks very pretty and gets ridden any time I don't need to carry much.
It's had a new chain, bartape, brakepads and a clean. The biggest job was removing the scabs of rust on the chrome. Since the after pic it has been treated to new tyres, wheel truing, a wireless computer and a missing locknut from the front brake. Apologies for the small talk :oops:

Here was my first ever bike project, pieces scattered everywhere now. Chepo Apollo IV. Not much of a resto really as I didnt exactly 'restore' much, rather than replace - but still

the black and white colour scheme looks good the white wheels go well with the gumwalls, red spokes or a tiny tiny bit of red somewhere would have been the bomb but thats just my taste.

the stem has quite a bit of weight to it, it was on the bike when i got it as was everything else except for the cables, cable caps, cable outers, bar tape, chain, bottle cage bolts and brake pads. i purchased an ozito polishing tool like the dremel tool only cheaper. every part polished or painted. oops, im chit chating :oops:

Superb recovery!

The work on the Benotto is also very impressive.

I'm feeling inspired to dust off the old steel frames in the shed and see what I can do
