RESTORED PREWAR SCHWINN EXCELCIER
« on: March 04, 2013, 08:33:07 AM »
Just finished this one this weekend. It had been repainted many years ago. I took it down to the original paint but there was too little of it left to salvage, so a repaint was in order. I tried to match the original colors as close as possible.
