Bring back the spokes and handlebars in a faded bicycle photo
A bicycle is made of thin lines: spokes, chain, brake rods and mudguards. After decades these lines wash out and the bike turns into a gray ghost. Send a scan and the bot redraws the frame, the wheels and the rider on top.

Make it in TelegramGeometry helps
Wheels are circles and frames are triangles, so a faded bike gives the bot a lot of rules to follow. It uses them to bring back a missing tube or a thin mudguard in the right place. Wire spokes crossing in a pattern are rebuilt with the same count on both sides. Odd custom parts, like a homemade carrier, stay as seen.
A first bicycle
Photos of a first bike are among the most treasured childhood pictures, and often the child is squinting in strong sun. The bot softens harsh shadows on the face while keeping the squint, which is part of the moment. If you want it in color, add the shade of the frame from memory. A red bike in a gray photo becomes the picture's anchor.
Tips
- Say if it is a child's bike or a road bike.
- Describe the brakes, rod or cable.
- Mention a basket, a lamp or a carrier.
- Keep the pavement shadow in the shot.

Yes. Ask for sharper faces and wheels separately if needed.

What the bot does not do
