The bike before the Solex!
As everything seemed complete on this 5000, the Workshop began reassembly.
As usual, it all starts with the central beam, the fork, and the kickstand support, which form the frame's "skeleton" and give it stability.
Then we "graft" the other elements, one by one, little by little...
And we end up with a complete rolling chassis that can be tested over a few kilometers.
Here, at the end of the "bike" test, the freewheel was changed for smoother pedaling.
It remained to mount the final elements: lights, new pedals, stickers, etc...
and naturally to rebuild the engine!
To be continued!
