Building New Old bike

[Glancing Aft]

Amazing work! And good notion going for the peaceful camo! What is the brown/yellow rectangle on the downtube near the BB?

The little yellow box was the original decal that said "Paola Pezzo, World Champion 1993 1997". This model must have been her signature model. Art recommended masking it off to save it, to date the bike.


Head badge installed, and building in progress.

head badge made from hammered costume earring.

Hee hee hee

I loved riding this bike,....pixy let me ride it in the parking lot. It was surprisingly Fast! Quite Cheeta- ish!

 

[Cyclopath]

Pixy,
Didn't get a chance to say hey as you motored off on the Cheetah.
My daughter "doesn't do pink" but she wants hers painted just like it.
And my son thinks it's way cooler in person.

I'm glad I brought them both out... Matt is interested(he took my FS for a spin down the fire road). Shannon was really encouraged by seeing Veronica out there. When we got home she had me back out and was "racing" me in the street. I guess it's time to get a her a real post-training wheel bike.

That is gorgeous. I wish you luck running down the gazelles.

How'd you get the dots on?
