Goal was to give a second life to my old Cilo road bike that was collecting dust in my garage, for my son to use. Low budget transformaton hence using parts available. Bike was stripped, paint removed, steel frame simply varnished.(process turned it into smart grey..) Handle bar switched over and cut, new "guidoline". Added two small brake levers and black coated cables. Changed "boyaux" to small tube tires. 44T chain ring and kept K7 - just choosing right gear...et voilà ! Cost chf 198. Fun to do ! Now Flynn wants one too !
Nice!.....and now??
