Hi All. Ihad a landscaping bussiness in uk ten yrs ago and one of my customers was going to ditch a nigel dean complete bike, i rescued it by repairing some more of his gardens in retn, i have it out here in spain and i love riding it , though i had to strip it completlyand in my very best non existing spanish got it checked over , paint was peeling, off bits of rust and a couple of small dents,it was fairly original in parts (i think) i had to respray it myself as cost was high to get it repainted in madrid, it was a green and silver frame n forks ,now it,s all blue san marco leather saddle and is great to ride out here on the club sunday rides, i get a few surprised look,s when passing the spanish carbon creeping, hey i,ve got all the kit man people,but quite a few of the really older guy,s get a bit glassy eyed talking about them , the best comment came from a german guy who happened to visit the coffe shop where we were sat, one Herr Rudi Altig ,who was delighted there were still in use and cared for, so, yes old bikes are worth restoring and riding there a different feel altogether, but i love coming down the mountains around here, bags of fun. so my friend JUST DO IT..
