When I saw it, it was owned by an american bluegrass musician who was travelling Europe, and who took two months to do a bike ride in Germany. He was leaving Berlin, and he wanted to sell the bike. Only problem, he sort of belonged to that category of owners who use a bike, but do not take care of it.
The Schaltung (o cambio) was so dirty that it could not move back, the back wheel cog and rim where out of balance, and the frame and lenker where deadly stinky. Before this, I did not think that a bike could actually stink. To be completly honest, I once read about a stinky bike, and about someone saying " did not think that a bike could actually stink". But still, I thought it was a urban myth, a legend. (http://www.biascagne-cicli.it/bici/bici-scattofisso-bottecchia/)
Anyway, I have cleaned the bike, oiled it, changed several rotten part, fixed the mechanic structures, and taken off the superficial rust from the beautiful chromed frame. For this latter work, I used a sort of Nonna remedy: Sidol, the cream for cleaning cooking pots. Works like hell.
Here it is the result. It is not a high end bike, but I hope that Sebastian, the new owner, will enjoy it. Given the story, the smell and the color, I called it "Stinky Silver"
Bye Bye Stinky Silver, and make Sebastian have a good time!
