Well it’s new to me!
« on: December 23, 2020, 08:05:50 PM »
Having sold my Breva last month, I found this, scraped on both side, and filthy. The clean up process starts.

Looks like it doesn't need too much of a clean up. Nice :thumb:

Looks like it needs just enough of “you” in it, to make it “yours”... :thumb:

Paint scheme looks good!

Which Breva did you own and why did you sell it?

"Dirty" is relative. Hey, in my circle of friends under 300 pounds is considered slim.

That's funny Tex.  I've ridden a lot with Phil, you can eat your breakfast off his bikes when he is done cleaning them.  I have no idea how he does that.   Also rode a lot with Mike Haven who said he knows it's time to wash his bike when ants start climbing up to eat the bugs off the headlight.   :grin:

Congrats.  I was following that in Austin CL (twice) but the scrapes on both sides and explanation for them just scared me off.  Hope it turns out okay. Jack in Georgetown.
