I must say that when I bought this bike, I had many doubts about the outcome of the restoration, but it was still an Alcyon, in my opinion the most beautiful French bike of the 1920s, and I had to try and get it back. The restoration took almost two weeks. Only disassembling it, given the rust encrustations present everywhere, was a feat. The most complicated intervention was the one on the frame: the goal was to make the splendid celestial Alcyon flourish again. A lot of patience, but in the end the result went beyond all expectations.

This was one of the restorations that gave me the most satisfaction. It was exciting to see this small piece of cycling history flourish under my hands.
