Nice bikes, all.

Seems as though original paint is either pretty nice or is kind of thrashed, no in between.

Mine was pretty bad but I don’t feel quite so bad about it now.

I’ll post my Krate when it’s done. Hopefully next week.

Question:

My Krate has mostly original parts.
It has a few NOS parts replacing the mostly worn out/incorrect parts such as the shock hangers, cables and tires.

The seat is new 69 Krate replica, made by Crawford.

I polished out the oxidization. I have lightly touched up the paint, and it looks good.
Several coats of wax have also improved the paints appearance.

I ended up overhauling F/R brakes, both hubs, BB, and replacing the headset bearings.

Would my bike be considered to be “restored”?
Mostly original?

What are the criteria for these terms?

If it’s a mongrel, that’s OK.

“ This is my Krate. There are many like it, but this one is mine”......
