Title: Ride the lightning resto..... click to enter, you won't be disappointed.
Post by: Spartacus on April 07, 2013, 06:01 PM: We all know how hard to get these gems are.

Story:

This was hanging behind the window of an old bike store in Amsterdam ! Found it in december last year.

Serial# CZ1991

After waiting at least 3 months to built this gem I finally started last week to give it some attention. I guess the summer feeling :daumenhoch:

Post by: Spartacus on April 10, 2013, 11:52 AM: Score was with a little help of a good friend living near the shop. He knew I wanted one so bad and he emailed me the pic.
Frame was not for sale at the first moment, it was only for display.
When I entered the shop I made the owner an offer he couldn't refuse.
