Thanks! You could very well be right with the 650b suggestion, or it could be a cyclocross frame? I'm thinking of replacing the forks to a more road oriented version. It's also made for just wireless groupsets what seems a bit strange

Then I stumbled upon this Joven steel frame (or maybe I'd seen it for sale more than a year ago and had a notification set once i missed it..), in my mind this frameset could replace the alu Mitte V2 frame. But in the end the tire clearance is way to tight for gravel use.

Despite this I'm very happy with the frame because the geometry seems perfect for me, a long headtube and a very short top tube. At 3,1 kg for frame and fork it's not particularly light, it's frame is made of Columbus tubes but not sure which type. I'm told the frame builder is Jan Dejonckheere of Frame Works, Gistel, Belgium. Plans are to build it as a road plus bike or whatever category 30 mm road tubes on carbon wheels and a wireless group set fits in

He lives in a village nearby so you were close, probably you'd seen a lot more odd shaped stems and handlebars in here

^ thanks all

Some updates from a while ago, the stem and seat clamp of the Mitte were sandblasted to match the seat post and it research showed a tailfin bag fits nice inside the frame so that one was purchased too.

Just good bikes in here, really like the direction you're going with all of them

Titanium frames are great and even better in a project like this, good job!

It's been a while, let's say that having two small children doesn't help with finishing unfinished bike projects. But finally found some time to complete the Gazelle. Not many updates other than that the Braun has been sold and the 29er has been replaced. Now the important part, pictures:

Looks like it was designed this way, so good. Even better it works well too!

Looks mega fun, nice upgrades on the bike

Oof beterschap!

Very nice frameset and great combination with the orange components

Very good cleaning job, always a pleasure to see an older bike in such good shape.

Not quite my size, and now that the Time is back in action, the Braun has become redundant, so it will make way. In the meantime I've repainted the rear fork, replaced the handlebar tape with a black variant and cleaned it up a bit. Not sure if it gets replaced or make funds for a new road bike somewhere in the future

tasty

I like that a lot

These kind of projects are the best, it def will be good with 650b and chunky tires

Pulled the trigger on a set 303 S. They came in with the wrong end caps for the rear wheel and an xdr body which I'm going to swap to an Shimano hg one. After two flats in one ride I'm also going to give tubeless a new change, but maybe I'll get back to that very soon

Lovely collection!

Is that a Babboe?

As far as I know it's the original time compression plug that came with the fork, can check it when I'm back home

Once again amazing work

Also replaced the cables and bought new barrel adjusters. Wrapped a new bar tape and took some pictures this afternoon while the weather was good

Finally an update regarding the Time. I mentioned repainting the frame three years ago, and it happened last summer. I took the frame to a car painter with the instruction to touch up the small damages and lugs. You'd think not much could go wrong, but it did. After much haggling, I left it as it was and hung the frame back on the wall. This winter however I reconsidered rebuilding the bike for the upcoming season. I bought another original fork (more on that later) and found a carbon seatpost and carbon 3T handlebars with some scratches in the parts bin. Some sanding and clear paint later it looked OK. And the painter had lost the attachment for the front derailleur, so I had to fix that again. Originally, it's secured with screws, but I've now resolved it using rivets.

That donhou is lush. And +1 for self engineering

Very cool! Love the tan wall version, the classic frame, low profile wheels and tires work really well together. A slim stem and bar tape away from perfect

Mgoof or hh or a bit of both?

So cool. Love the slammed ti stem <3
