here are both bikes restored.

we entered both bikes in a vintage show this past weekend at two different events and i can tell you by peoples choice her ca95 wins first place at the shows but my white dream being entered for the first time this past weekend could only muster a third place in one event and a second place today. its all good. must be the black color on her bike pops out better than the white dream. anyways i still love the white on the dream.

I simply can't believe that's the same bike. You are a magician! Well done- they're both stunning!

housewax...yes they are both the same bike. we have a poster frame that we display by our bikes showing pics of the bikes in variois stages of the restortation and the onlookers cant believe that is the same bike as well.

really amazing! Do you have a resource for re-chroming? The shiny stuff looks blindingly stunning!

Thanks!
