Let' See Your Original "As Found" bikes...
To me, "original as found" means a bike found sporting its original paint, art and components fitted. I do not care what color the bike is as long as it has not been fiddled with. Cleaned up is OK. Rebuilt is OK. New bar tape or brake pads or cables are all OK,
Repainted, new art, different components and the like are not OK for this thread.
Following are a few of my "as found" original bikes and only ones that are in good shape. I have others pristine "as found" steeds and a heck of a lot more not so pristine offerings only the clean ones appear here...
This Gardin 400 was 100% original "as found" and it looked exactly like this...
