Fiji Special Road Racer fixed gear

This is my favorite type of restoration ( not fixed gear) rather a fully custom job. As an added bonus I had most of the parts in house. Done in about 5 days when I had time. Themed out in white, it looks almost as good as it rides. I was even able to use the original cranks. The only new stuff is the inner tubes, power grip peddles, and the front brake system. Everything else is original or used (the way it should be).

Shogun Champion No. 2

This is a 56cm road bike I restored. It sports shimano 600 and has armadillo tires. One thing I think is important, and often overlooked is doing the grips and brake lever hoods, both can be had new. This step along with a new/modern chain can make an old bike new again.
