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

Raleigh Colette 1973

I forget to update the blog. Doing more bicycles than writing, but who cares.
Anyway, once again I had a special request from a special friend. She wanted me to repair her old bike, and had brought it to me for week for evaluation.
Once the bike was disassembled, it was clear that nothing good won’t come out of it. I’ve tried to improvise something but the bike was completely useless. I told her, no way we can continue to use this frame, let’s find something else.
It actually took me two weeks of searching and I have finally got the piece I was looking for. Raleigh Colette 1973, in very bad shape, but no physical damages. This is how it looks before:



Over two months and VERY hard work, including drilling out the crank and unscrewing rusty quill for two weeks. I have tried to save the original color, but rust left me no chance. So we have decided to make it dark blue. And here is the result:



Guys keep telling me that i should document the whole process of recovery and post it out step by step. What do you think?

First he was thinking about Raleigh grand prix. But then Dude bought Cannondale Capo. Dude wanted orange pedals. Dude got the coolest bike in town. Very fast, light and cool bike with nice touch of unusual colors. And I have completed the assembly in three hours.
