Leave as is, this one is probably one of the most valuable bikes you'll ever see ....

Although it may have belonged to somebody slightly better known.

🤔Nothing wrong with a bit of patina, just ride it. :laugh:

I believe it’s somewhat difficult to ‘buff’ a tyre - they just keep springing back.

That's an average photo of a bike on marketplace listed as "Top of the range bike in perfect condition, ready to ride away!"....

WD40 is your friend here.

And use a plastic scrub-pad - you don’t want to damage the paint.

It`s just the bike to take to town centres and know that it won`t be pinched but don`t forget to lock it, just in case !

I have found just the lock for when you take it into town.
