Hi i also just bought a bleu 1vj which needs restoring and live in holland. I found mine on "marktplaats" . I think we have to tackle the same problems. I also need a new steering lock, you can also find parts with kedo in germany, sometimes cheaper as ebay and very good service . Best regards, ian

You will need to get the bolts re-plated now or they will rust in no time, i found this out the hard way.

Now you have a nice shiny frame it forces you to do the rest of the bike properly, only way to go.

That`s a spray paint job right?

Hi Oldtimer
