Restoration of a Classic Vintage Road Racer Bike

Vintage Rennrad vom Hersteller Blondin.
Ich denke es wurde Ende der 70er Jahre /Anfang der 80er Jahre gebaut.
Der Laden existiert heute noch und befindet sich in Frankreich in der schönen Stadt Strasbourg.
Standardmäßig für solch alte Franzosen wurden Simplex Komponenten verbaut.
Leider ist vom Aufbau des Rad nicht viel zu sehen im Video.
Das Ergebnis ist der Hammer.

Robota fajna ale przydało by się coś merytorycznego na temat tego roweru z którego roku kto produkował lub coś wiecej

[@upcyclingbikes]

Dziękuję bardzo, niektóre informacje są zapisane w opisie. Niestety tylko po niemiecku. Rower pochodzi od marki Blondin. Sklep istnieje do dziś we Francji. Myślę, że motocykl musiał być zbudowany na początku lat 80-tych.

Very nice! With the cotterpin cranks and centerpull brakes in guessing mid 1970s ?? ...i love the colour❤️

[@upcyclingbikes]

Wonderful project. My first adult bike was a similar Peugeot of the era. Same color, construction and components. Great refresh of memories. Thanks much.

Hello What Medium did you User at 5:20 that foams

Hey, I use Ballistol products for heavily seized grease. For rust, I use Sonax products. Be cautious with the Ballistol resin solvent, as it is not suitable for every surface. BALLISTOL 82219 Harzlöse. amzn.eu/d/7Jk0gDB

do not paint it its not restoring it

[@upcyclingbikes]

No I dont paint it. The bike has already found a new owner 😊

[@jasperedwards2713]

thats good i was disgusted by a dutch company collecting all the old bikes repainting them and putting there name on it i think its theft@@upcyclingbikes

[@upcyclingbikes]

@@jasperedwards2713 ohhh Such stores exist here in Germany as well. It borders on theft, but it isn't as long as the brand is unprotected. If it's still a protected brand today, then it's theft.

[@jasperedwards2713]

Mid 1970’s Blondin, with original components is quite cool ! The green, yellow and tan color scheme is a classic ! Well done on the rebuild. I’m sure it rides,as good as it looks !

[@upcyclingbikes]

Thank you, I love the Blondin. The green color gives the bike a special nostalgic flavor. As far as I know, the Blondin is completely original And it rides very smoothly.
