Before and after thread

This thread is for posting photos of your bikes before and after restoration/modification (if there's already one of these, let me know). Lets keep it to photos and comments about photos, just to keep focused and keep the pictures coming.

I'll start. Here's a Schwinn World I built for a friend of a friend, before and after:

Did you notice the seat?

JK :) He is probably just a bit fatter, and a bit lazier

Nice, especially the Peugot. Are you making these fenders?

Yeah, I make the fenders. They are laminated hardwood.

Let me know if you are interested.

An old Bianchi Volpe I had bought, judging from the paint it must've been at least 2008 built. Stripped it, decided I wanted it done correctly and took it to Iron Cycles which just opened on Montrose. They did a great job, it rides beautifully, and I spent all day Saturday and Sunday riding around town. Geared at 48x17, couldn't be happier with it.
