Sampaj Posted September 10, 2021 Share On 5/10/2019 at 9:19 AM, BuffsVintageBikes said: In my spare time I build up old steel bangers that I pick up at a fair price and restore some new life into them. I mostly focus on SA built bikes like Raleigh, Le Jeune, Hansom etc. (because they're cheaper) but won't shy away from an Italian beauty if it comes my way at a good price. In most instances I try and keep the bike as original as possible but that's not always possible due to the scarcity of parts in SA. Sometimes I might even sell one or two, but that happens rarely as I tend to form emotional bonds with them very quickly I'll use this thread to document and share some of the bikes which I've done and which I'm currently busy with. I try and focus on one bike at a time and generally won't start another project until I've finished the current one.

BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 12, 2022 Share Been a while since I updated this thread. Here's a few projects I got up to last year. This one was panto/etching work on a plain Cinelli 1A stem.

BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 13, 2022 Share Added some retro style panache to a tired looking Dura-Ace 7900 Crankset with some very durable Silky Black Cerakote and some panto work. FondTF2, Wayne pudding Mol, shaper and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 13, 2022 Share Restored an old set of Simplex gear levers that had some poor etching work done on them. These are generally rated as the smoothest friction shifters ever made and are quite collectable 🤙 DJuice, FondTF2, Wayne pudding Mol and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fork is not original, unfortunately, Certainly looks like a pursuit frame and no, that fork isn't original. Would be interesting to get Duncan's take on it.
