strong bikes in here anyway

thanks!

@Heldring yes it was quite easy, most important bit is the bottom bracket part of the bike and this would fit perfectly. I used some blind rivet nuts to mount the battery frame onto the frame and I had to purchase a Lekkie bling ring for the correct chain line. And use the dremel on the chain guard

This is the Bafang BBS02 kit with 17.5Ah battery

Halfway through the process

Way better setup especially with the drops and fresh tires, really diggin the colour combination

And last project for now: a Giant Revive i'm turning into a speed pedelec ;) It's already working, next up is to take the cables out of sight and maybe paint or plastidip the whole thing black. Oh and it needs better brakes :D

And the Diamant Titanium, bought this bike way back (2013), completely stripped it and rebuilded it with new(er) parts, according Strava i've covered 17k km with this frame set.

At the moment it's mostly stripped, the idea is to restore an old 11-s Record groupset i have and to put it on the bike, but i'm in no hurry :)

@Heldring if it ain't Dutch, ... bla bla :D

Update on the other projects:

The DSC is fully complete for a while, up until now I did some 800 km with the bike and I really enjoy it. However the Time frame in my opinion is even better so I was about to swap the groupset from the DSC to the Time. And at the same time restore the Time frame, especially the bad painted lugs and ad some nice details. But it turns out restoring the frame is quite expensive, even more $$ than repainting the whole frame, something i don't want to do. So for now I'll be riding the DSC untill i've sorted out what exactly to do with the Time frame

Short history on the Crux, I bought it middle 2016 and was planning to do some cyclocross races but it never happened. I had already bought some racy wheels with tubes

Best experience I had with the bike was the Dutch Fondo Slag om Norg i rode, a road/gravel race for amateur road cyclist in the north of the country here.

thanks @greeno

Update on the Specialized Crux, i'm a trend follower so I'll turn it into some sort of gravelracer ;) The parts I was waiting for arrived and most importantly the tires as well, still waiting on some small carbon items from mr. ali.

Yes I still have to wrap the new handlebar tape ;)

Still waiting on some parts for the Crux, so in the meantime i'll share this finished project, a Gazelle Olympia '91 i got for free - just before they turned it into a Gazelle Recycle ;)

cleaned it a bit and bought a saddle

All done

Both! At the same weight or more its not gonna fit :/

-

I kinda like it! Maybe it could use a bit more gradient on the pink to black area but nicely done

MTB fun! Changed the tires, hand grips and did some maintenance:

And this was actually the most fun:

At the moment i'm building a electric Giant Revive (bafang) and waiting on some part for my Specialized Crux, so more updates to come ;)

Impressive project! Turned out amazing, looks like a real pleasure to ride. What kind of riding did you build it for?

Thanks! I'm sure is's a keeper so I will change the groupset to the black Chorus group of the DSC and will have the frame touched up by a painter in the future.

Almost too nice to ride! :o Amazing!

Thanks! And great to see another DSC frame! In the mean time I bought a nos Record 11s front derailleur which completed my groupset, so I quickly build up the frameset for a test ride:

I'm honestly very impressed by the ride quality of the frame, I like it more than the steel or titanium frame I have which i didn't expect at all, so very happy with the bike :)

Bought these Deda Alanera handlebars for 45€ to put them on the Time frame but not too sure about it yet,maybe I should go for just a simple -10 stem and compact handlebars? Or keep the original Time stem?

Thanks, I did some short research online and it seems the 'real' Gios blue is kinda hard to reproduce, I read about a red base coat? There's a decal under the clear coat with the name of the first owner on the left rear fork, I'm thinking about removing it but not too sure yet.

Really hope all the lug-tube connection are ok, that's exactly why I want to test ride it first. If the frame is growing on me I might get it retouched by a bike painter like Unlimited Colors, I'm really thinking about painting the fork and seatpost in red with original re-made graphics.

thanks all and that VXRS of Boonen is a stunner indeed!

Came upon this frameset on marktplaats and bought it because I wanted a classic looking carbon frameset for a while. However the frame needs some work, the paint has some scratches and the lugs might be rebonded - I'm not sure - but what I'm sure of that the lugs are repainted and it doesn't look nice.

First I want to test the ride quality of the frame so I'm going to build up the frame quickly with some temporary parts. If it's OK i want to rebuild it completely with a matching group set and kit.

Current status, just threw some parts on it for the picture:

I'm really not sure which way to go on the groupset and stem/handlebar/seatpost, if you have any suggestions please let me know :)

Apart from bartape and the right cable lengths I think it's ready, what I changed:

Campagnolo Chorus 11 s groupset

€11 Smica stem with some repainted front parts

Fizik R5 saddle

Look Keo 2 Blade 16nm pedals

Debranded FSA Energy Compact bars

Put my FCC wheels in

Former owner told me the paint is a Gios color, not sure which exactly but it's realy bright/intense in direct sunlight, really like it however i didn't like the paint scheme/decals at first sight.

I'm new to this forum but I'd like to share my current project with you all. Found some Campagnolo parts in my shed which I wanted to sell, but then I realized it would be more fun to buy another frameset

Found this DSC on marktplaats.nl, it's a steel frame bike made by the Dutch frame builder Harry Dekker. So I bought the bike and sold the Ultegra groupset and some other parts that came with the bike.

Awesome to see my old De Rosa and current DSC on page 311 :D

fredtc > really in love with that 1st Festka
