A lovely 67 cm Pelago Stavanger.

The trusty commuter, a Pelago San Sebastian. Not much of a project but maybe the bike I ride the most.

Thanks! I guess that's a better association than Dolly Parton's "Endless Stream of Tears".

With a two-week-old newcomer in the family, project time is tight. Today I had a free moment and decided to pull the Gunnar Crosshairs from winter storage. I have a pair of Jack Brown Greens for the bike, but current Grand Bois'es were in better condition than I remembered so I decided to leave the tyre change for the moment. I think this is definitely the prettiest bike I own.
I got this '90's Kuwahara Nagano frameset for free this winter and tought to build it up as a budget monster cross bike. Handlebars are 46 cm On-One Brians, tyres 2,1" Vittorias. A set of cantilever brakes and a very mixed group of 3x7 components still to come.
Inspiration for the build is my '98 Kuwahara Okaya I've had since new, for some time I've been interested to try it with a drop bar and with a free frame on my hands I thought I'd give it a shot.
Frames are really similar, I'm guessing the Okaya was a slightly better model as it has a Tange butted fork where as the Nagano has an Oria plain gauge one. -
That is a nice one!

This is actually a replica, more pictures here, check out also his other Takhion replica.

You just need a big frame :) , my setup on the 62 cm LHT is quite similar to old French touring bikes.

Awesome collection of bikes, very pretty pictures as well!
The bike is not mine, but I think they used to have a small number of these huge sizes as well.
