Hello everyone,

 

you can probably imagine, how it is, when you have a bike standing forgotten 10 years and you get the great idea to bring it back to life...

There were jets clogged, slides seized not moving at all, even the needles didn't wanted to move and the needle jets were oxidized. So complete disassembly and cleaning took place.

Have a great day
