Finished a bike for my girl friend on the weekend and thought I would share.
It is an Repco Continental that I stripped and had powder coated.
Cleaned up most parts of surface rust and had to replace the handle bars and cranks because they were too far gone.
I repainted the mudguards myself - next time I will just get them powder coated. The pin striping is just tape from Autobarn.
The rear wheel is a shimano 3 speed I have set to the easiest gear ratio. It can be changed by unscrewing the nut a bit. I didn’t want to run another cable for the 3 speed because I like the way it looks and my girlfriend doesn’t ‘get’ gears.
It is heavy up the front and hard to wheelie.
