Rene Herse replica project

Unfinished project. I was gonna weather this new paint on the bike to make it look old. It would look great.

The only issue with this project is that the bottom bracket cup seems to be stuck in pretty good. I never got around to it, but someone might be able to loosen it.

New old stock Shimano 400 gears, the shift levers are beautiful, I thought they were a great mix of budget and looks for this replica Rene herse.

The actual frame is a Puch bike with upgraded tange forks.

Brand new tyres for the 27" wheels.
New dia compe hoods for the brake levers.
All new cabling
New Selle Italia Anatomica leather saddle which hasn't been broken in yet.

I spent a decent bit on the bike getting it to where it is.
It needs refinement and I just don't have the time for all the projects I have.
