wheels

Day One: cleaning surface dust off the rims with silver foil and water.

I said to Cam "I don't think I like this project, it's making my hands dirty". He said "Put that on your blog"

I've fallen in love with this funny old Apollo Geneva bike that I bought from a local Buy-Sell-Swap site on Facebook. I'm going to use this blog to track the progress of her restoration. These shots are the original shots taken buy the lady i bought it from:

apollo geneva

gear shifters, not sure why we have two yet

right pedal is stuck

front wheel

brake pads in surprisingly OK condition

nice line

not sure how to restore white leather.

mud guards in great condition

original decals, wondering if i can work out its age by these logos?

missing a derailleur, this will be the most challenging part for me
