My lovely bike

Just sharing my bicycle project! Took it out for a quick ride this morning. Terrifying! Haha. I’ve not ridden a bike for about 25 years. But got the hang of it eventually.

Just need to tighten and straighten up a few things and it’ll be good to go!

Here’s the original picture…

You never ridden a bike for 25 years! Wow! :rofl:
But you have a lovely bike to practice on! How old is he? I had a simular one when I was 9 or so. My dad bought it second hand and painted it red for me. The Netherlands is a biking country. I have 3 bikes myself :blush:

The sheer retroness of it is beautiful :heart_eyes:

Although I did think it was called a Boner until I saw the third pic. Thought you’d been riding round town on a Retro Boner :joy::joy::pray:

It is a folder!

Im confused. Did you replace the decals on it? Some of them from the first picture to the next ones are different.

Yep, they’re all replacements printed on 90’s backing.
