Hey All
I’ve been putting together a step through for my girlfriend’s birthday over the last couple of months. She is a bit tentative about riding, but we had a great time in Amsterdam getting drunk and riding around last year so I thought why not use that as some inspiration for her present.
Frame was a dump found Repco of 70s-80s era which I stripped and had powdercoated in “Primrose”.
I’ve polished and restored many of the original bits and laced a coaster brake to the original rear wheel.
Seat: Avon (vegan leather) - actually brown but the photos don’t really show this as I played with the levels a bit too much!
Tyres: White (eBay)
Basket: Cane Corner in Adelaide
See below for the results, unfortunately I didn’t take any before photos for fear she might see them and ruin the surprise, but suffice to say the bike was a mess before I started so I’m very pleased with how it turned out and she loves it!
