The pictures illustrate how the bicycle-makers of Biascagne Cicli give new life to old bikes, found rusting in dusty basements. The craftsmen carefully transform these elderly warhorses into modern gentlemen's bikes of distinctive elegance - usually reduced to their bare essentials before being rebuilt, but each one retaining its individual character. Our favourite? We'd pick the vintage model named 'Oliva', with its dark green frame and cognac leather saddle: simple, timeless, nonchalant. When will spring be here?
