OK i have decided to restore and convert the fisrt ‘real’ bike i ever owned
i got this 27inch apollo III tourer when i was in grade 5 (and i was a short kid)
i blame this bike for any future problems i will have in repordcing
unlike most posts i though id post this as a stage by stage, and show it as it devlops
(and i learn about fixed gear bicycles)
soo
STAGE one
reclaiming the bike
when i upgraded it back in 96 i just discarded it in the back yard (yes i had done the God awfull paint job) then a few years later i resirected it to be used at my mates beach house where it got a puncture and the rear tire desintergated… so it sat there for a few more years.
its taken me 3 months to get it home… but finally it returns… in many pieces
the strip down will begin this weekend…
