First ride ever on this special machine.
My nuevo 'Ciclos Minaco'.
The frameset is from the 1930's, made in Palma de Mallorca, Illes Balears.
It was a special gift sent over from my good friend Jaume to help with my recuperation.
It's taken some time to repair the rims and source some suitably special parts to make it really eye catching.
'Fratelli Brivio' hubs, 'Elan' elliptical chainring, 'Sova speciale' brake, first pattern 'Cinelli' steel track bars, 'LaRoche Pouchois' sprint rims
So happy to be able to ride it, on so many levels.
Just a short ride, but the first of many I hope.....
...an emotional trip, and it's a beautiful ride.
Keep on riding guys and gals!
