Past projects

This is the first bike Peter & Benjamin found online which kick-started Vintage Wheels to where it is today. The bike had had only one owner. A lovely older gentleman in Estepona, Málaga. When Peter went to view it the first time, he could really see just how much this bike meant to the man, but now in his 80’s he just didn’t have the strength to keep riding. However, that did not stop him from showing Peter that it still worked, and he kicked it over a few times, hopped on and disappeared for 10 minutes. I suppose you could say he was saying goodbye. The bike itself had been sitting there for a long while without use and the usual problems occurred. The carburettor needed replacing. The fuel tank needed a deep clean inside. The paintwork work was tired. Brakes didn’t work. The guys worked hard on it as you can see from the first photo to the last. Once finished it sold much faster than what they were expecting, and the charming bike found a great new Swedish owner in Marbella. The rest as they say is history. Vintage Wheels was born.
