Restored

fyxomatosis circa 2008.

No before shots, just a lot of blood, sweat, polishing and flooding with enamel.

Restored Hillman Reynolds 531 with Campagnolo fittings.

This came to me with an 'upgraded' Mirage ergopower groupset that was installed back in the 90's. At the time the bike was also resprayed and gold leaf used for the lettering. After the owner saw some previous works he was infused with the idea of restoring the bike with period detailing.

Bespoke leather straps by Busyman.

Though out of place, the 'Tommasini' stem holds fond memories for the owner.
