Who and What

Hi All,
Welcome to this blog.
I'm autodidacted bicycle enthutist and mechanic, waiting for the right moment to be fully dedicated to the dream of LBS (local bicycle store).

I can do almost everything with your old bike to make it shine and roll.

I can get you everything for your new bike project build.

The only thing I can not do, is to make you ride.


Anyway, fell free to comment, contact and ask questions.

With smile,
Garazhik

Kuwahara road frame

Max found it in the back of the store. Classic road frame for Japanese manufacture Kuwahara. I’m still wondering who brought it here. We took it immediately and within a few weeks, a friend came across asking for something old and not fancy. He has also requested to keep the original parts and was the biggest challenge. I have spent one week in order to remove the rust from the crank and pedals. A simple kitchen acid made it work. Look at the beauty and the simplicity.
This is how we found it:



And the magic:

WHICH KITCHEN ACID WOULD THAT BE?

Simple vinegar will do. Just let it be there for 2-3 days.
