Current Projects chat and miscellany

Started putting bits and bobs on a frame I bought earlier in the year.

Any sugestions ?
Any info for the lugs ?
cheers.

That is the best paint job I have ever seen.

the condor is a nicer ride

I can believe that. Fortunately the pomp doesn't actually fit properly big tyres. :)

Quite amazing. As Sumo says, the paint is dreamy.

Could the lugs be Modeulo?

Why cantis on fork?

this 3 rensho has those webbed lugs also says moduelo

Current project/beater/pos

I should have really been patient and painted the bike + fitted nice parts but a scrap heap parts bin build will get me to work and back.

Apparently it's a Mercian time trial frame from the 70s, 126mm spacing and track fork ends, nice n tight and not too heavy either.

Plan is to make it a super tight roadie for around the city, nice paint job, 8 speed out back and a single 50t track crank up front, all campagnolo, hopefully.

^ great bike & good plan.
I too am in the middle of a rolling project with 1x8 on a 1970's TT frame - this is a Roberts.
Next step is paint job (white + black lug lining/decals)

@Rik_Van_Looy, you are very good, at building good-looking bikes

you're too kind!

Gaston, your collection coming on strong. Seriously, wow.

So this is my 300euro Look with Tomaspuika Spinergy. Slave mode on.

Matching nago stem

Wow.

Any experts on the history of Tj quick frame builder???

Yup that's the one, excuse it's current state

Modern road build is nearly there, just changed the drivechain out from 105 to ultegra, mtb stem (light but stiff, noodle stems annoy me), tyresntubes, seatpost and then some nokon'esque cabling. Grease changes are now like lightening, but stiff stem has shown up the noodle like bars. Any suggestions for same shape but less flex?

You should give this to me. I'll cover postage?
