Yeah it's for sellz in case anyone wanted to get it ;) Personally I suck at recognizing bike components and the fact that it's all sprayed doesn't help. According to the seller it's based on some Dura Ace groupset. And the bike is "lighter than a six-pack of bottled water".

Holy shitballs, that's some crazy geometry

Great pics and the bike is sexy. Very clean and looks like it's moving at high speed, even when it's stationary :p

Damn I've been watching this thread for quite some time and I must say I'm mighty impressed with your bike. Great machine - I would like soooooooooo much to have something similar but unfortunately don't have and in foreseeable future won't have enough cashmonies. Great build.

Would consider splitting the ventos? Don't really need front wheel (shouldn't really buy the rear either but it's tempting). Btw - shipping internationally?

Can't wait to see the final result though.

I'm no expert but the clearance looks too small for me - don't really know how stiff this frameset is but I think that it could very well flex enough to scrape the chainstay when you apply more force through the cranks. Did you measure the chainline or it just "looks" right? I would try swapping the BB for a longer one if possible.

Instead of looking for a replacement I bought a pair of Super Champion Arc en Ciel rims - not in great condition - scratched up, dirty and with damaged labels but they should polish out nicely so I'm back on the track :P And even the old spokes should fit.

I'm no expert but I think it is. During the ride I just felt the rim rubbing against brake shoes so I thought it just went out of true a bit. But it's properly bent as you can see (in two points). The sidewalls have a nice buldge too, so I think it's done. Finding a matching replacement will be hard I presume, but currently I could buy Super Champion Route for like 10 quid to replace the damaged rim.

Crap. First ride out of town and here is the rear wheel after (unexpectedly) falling into quite big pot hole:

Removing the handlebar is much easier when the stem bolt is not tightened, you know.

gasp

I'm speechless

Yeah I know that's the "proper" way :P But I prefer to operate front brake with right hand. Btw in "Stars and watercarriers" time trial part you can see that Ole Ritter uses the same setup so I'm not too fussed about it.

EDIT: 1+n - fair point. Cables are a bit of a mess on this one, need to sort this out sometime in the future. Thought it shifts very smoothly and the brakes are sharp too (thought I think I will install some modern brake shoes)

Double post warning :P My little contribution to this thread - my Gazelle Champion Mondial (1981, I think)

Finally got some spare time to take decent pictures of the finished bike. All the final bits and pieces are in place - bottle cage, water bottle, new chain (Sram PC-870) and new rear derailleur pulleys. Now the drivetrain is nearly silent while riding and it shifts beautifully. I'm rather pleased with the results :) It's not pornworthy but looks decent and rides even better. Unfortunately at the end of photo shoot the wind tipped it over and the fall damaged bar tape and one side of the saddle :/

So basically all we're gonna see in this thread now is the same bikes with different bars every other day? C'mon, where is the suspense ? Rattlecanning the keirin fork was at least something new.

Nah, that's how he Rolls
