Somebody can help me with this rare piece for bicycles
« on: November 26, 2014, 09:15:14 pm »
As the person I buys told me. It was to support the wheel of a bicycle. But I wanted to know if this is certain. that I don't find any reference. It samples him with an and the size gives well.

That's true Mart.  However, at this point you can leave as is or strip the paint off!  Nice piece of the past!

Just regular paint stripper like for furniture might take the paint off without stripping the age from the metal if care is taken !! Use just old soft rags to rub off the stripper and paint !! Nothing that would scratch !!  Test on the underside first !!
