My Cilo

Here's the Belgian-made Cilo (pronounced "see-low" according to a French-speaking friend) that I've restored. I have been restoring and re-selling older bikes for some time, and this one is quite nice.
Originally meant as a utility roadster, it has a very nice Columbus lugged-steel frame, a bunch of Shimano 600 (equivalent to today's Ultegra group) bits, and some cheap features as well.
I did a lot of work on this one, not only re-doing wheels and bearings and cables, which I expected, but finding a few pieces that are always hard to obtain for older bikes.

At it's present state, it's a very comfortable ride, what with the nice springy steel frame and the cushy 28mm tires. I havn't decided if I'll keep it or not; it's not really a collector's item. Might be fun to do it up with all original-vintage Shimano parts, but that takes a lot of searching on eBay!
