TREK PROJECT ONE RESTORE – PART 1

This is a fairly complex and unique restoration of a top tube where the design consists of random letters. The lighter part of the image shows the replacement stencil showing a facsimile of the pattern. The darker part is the top tube where the restore will take place.
