Thats a ridiculous price

That is amazing, turned out even better than i expected! Great job

From classifieds

I'm interested in those forks as well. But if you google Hylix you find a lot of broken stuff...

Pink, purple and red.

Looks cool though!

Are you gonna add back rollers?

I like that a lot! Do you have a better photo from the side?

Never heard about that but it looks expensive. I actually quite like the rack and set-up now, just had to get used to I a bit I guess, its only a bit unstable at speeds around 5km/h so most of the times its fine. I did about 3500km loaded touring with it now.

I guess you are right about the forks.
The lugs look like prugnat 62s.

They start using them in the 70's I read, but the brazed on derailleur clamp indicates its from the 80's no?

@hp93 why would he do that?

Bike looks cool! Tyres look nice on it.

I like the fluoro but it needs black tyres.

Sorry to say it but this threat doesn't make sense. Just look in current projects and other threats to find out what you like. Or check out classifieds till something you want pops up. Vintage can be anything.

I like how you kept the decals

I just bought this. Its not a real Rossin so I like to figure out who build it. The frame number suggests a small company.
It has Campagnolo drop outs, 27,2 seatpost and Columbus steel forks and a braze on front derailleur clamp.
I like the look of the lugs and the seat stays but don't know what they are...

Doi Ithanon. Yeah you can pm me!

Well there are front rollers up front so they are small. The dry bag on top has my sleepingbag in it so that's also not heavy. I was thinking about adding a rear rack and back rollers but that would already be about 2kg extra. Also I weight about 200 lbs so if I put all my luggage on the rear it will put a lot of load on the rear wheel, now its more evenly distributed over the wheels.
I did touring with my fixed gear one time with only a rear rack and I hated the handling, this setup handles way better.

Tl;dr I wanted to be on radavist

If you do it like this the Ortliebs fit fine, I used the duct tape to prevent rattling, but the hooks also wear out the aluminium without it. My advise is to use something stronger than duct tape thought.
Im really close to Bangkok. Crossed the border from Lao into Thailand from Vientiane. Then cycled north again to the highest mountain of Thailand close to Chiang Mai and then I went south to Bangkok. I already mis Lao, the scenery was amazing and the roads are pretty quiet so great for cycling.

@user74608
I was a bit difficult to take clear photos but I think this will do;
You have to put the lower hook of the orlieb almost all the way forward.

Step 1; hold the pannier on an angle and click the aft upper hook on

Step 2; slide the lower hook over the rack on the front side.

Step 3; push that shit down so the lower hook slides to the under side of the rack and the upper forward hook will click on.

Bottom one wins because it has valve caps

From what time did they start using front derailleur braze on clamps? Trying to figure out how old a frame is and thought that might say something...

A 5 spok that will weight more than your frame, pretty hiphop!

Saddle to bars distance looks huge

Didn't @roboto had a nice Unknown build?

Nice plans!
