BIKE RENOVATION
This year I am celebrating 10th anniversary of my cross bike, and so I decided that we could ride next year in old new retro “outfit”.
I got the bike as a gift in 2006 from second hand bike and immediately I took it on a boat trip to Croatia, and then we rode on many roads and byways at home and in abroad. We spent a lot of experiences together …
The second year I have a suspension fork. Particular components were changed as needed.
