Just wanted to get one of many bikes I have in storage up and running with a new look at no expense.
Started out as a simple 70's Italian folding shopper and converted into a folding velo street hopper.
The thing glides,has a great light racing feel to it.
What I started with.A whole lot of rust.

Funk, this turned out really nice! It has a 'light and lively' look to it now. And, for those of us on the breach of Spring, gives us hope with all your beautiful flower shots!

I really like that 2nd pic of the close-up on your wonderful graphics, paint, tire choice and that big ol' grasshopper eye headlight staring straight at you!

Superb build from mediocre beginnings!
What a fun and cool transformation!
I've seen people turn Raleigh Twenty's into mini velos, but never one of these U tube folders.
Nice work Miss Funk and excellent pics too!!!
 
This is a cool little bike and so Versatile. That color is perfect & the bar switch was a great idea.
