Riparato project number two


Hi there. It's been a while since we finished our last project, and we have really enjoyed riding what we created. Now we are really getting the ball rolling with Riparato and have found a great source of second hand bikes that we can convert to fixed gear ready to sell to the public online. The first bike which will be on sale here is this classic peugeot! We got it back to the workshop and wasted no time in stripping it back to get an idea of what it may look like when we are done.



Above is the bike stripped of the components that aren't needed for this project. We are aiming for a classic looking build for this project.



And here it is with all components removed. The cable guides have been ground away, along with the gear shifter mounts. Next job to do is strip the old paint, and clean up the areas where the braze ons once were. Then it's into the spray booth for some primer.

Blat around the block


This is a ride on the bike we built. It was taken out by Paul, who converted it and built it up to what you see on these pages. It was an experiment on where best to put a camera whilst riding.
