Zenith, first pictures of restauration

[Zephyr]

I finaly had a little bit of time to put on the Zenith. I didn't do much but I manage to put appart the front wheel to check the state of the parts to see if I have to change the rim or if just a relacing would be fine. Thought you guys might be interested in what I've found. Note to say that this bike was found in a river.

The inside of the tire.
