As the bike was in such good condition and 100% original the restoration didīnt take long.
The restoration comprised of changing all the cables and fitting new tyres and tubes. The original tyre size was 28mm. but Iīve fitted 35mm. instead due to the road quality in Denmark.
All the main parts have been cleaned with rust remover and then polished.
The smaller parts, chain, brake blocks, cotter pins etc. have been cleaned up and re used. The frame has been washed, waxed and polished
Itīs a really sweet looking bike that rides like a dream.
As you can see the only thing missing is the Soubitze dynamo. If anybody has one for sale let me know, Iīm very interested in buying one.
