I highly prefer natural wood finishes too.

Well I've just pulled the trigger on this one.
Been lusting over a thinline tele for the better part of the last 4 years, secretly hoping Thomann would deliver something for cheap. Hell yeah they did.
Will try to give a detailed review. I suck at guitar though so won't be very professional.

This looks really cool, dig the tyres!

Awesome and entertaining updates, love the looong stem!

Gonna look like an ancient weathered mutant tree with shiny cherries dangling off it...

My kinda build. Lovely!

This is also ace, but yours looks better.

Incredibly good!

Gorgeous! GPM stands for Gipiemme?

Spot on spotter post. Love the middle one.

Haha, I already edited it out as I thought people might take it too seriously.

This is lovely, could use some bdhu though

Well it looks very repulsive, especially considering the price tag...

Definitely a new forum favourite of mine, I love how detailed this build is.

Enjoyed it a lot, can't wait to see more!

Thanks, might order a set!

Cool! What pedals are those?

What a scenery, wow!

SunRace has an ok 1x specific square taper crankset, I think it's called FCM800. I've seen it on quite some builds and used it myself with a SunRace CRMS chainring. Tad ugly, tad heavy, but cheap.

Otherwise just buy any old 110 BCD LX/DX/XT/whatever you can find. After '93-94 they switched to 94 BCD, watch out as the chainring options are going to be extremely limited (mostly Stridsland only).

If you toe them in properly that should vastly reduce the squeak. If it doesn't... at least you won't need a bell. :)

All sold out unfortunately in 100 mm. General shortage I guess? Added it to my list though thanks!

Edit: SJS might very well be the answer...

Derailleur hanger alignment tool arrived today. Turns out I actually managed to straighten the hanger very well with the hub axle the other day, only needed some minor adjustments and now it's spot on.
Installed the 105 RD back on, its cage looks a bit crooked but it works well, indexing is fine too. Gonna leave it like that and get on with life.
Now slow and steady hunt begins for the best price/value stem and seatpost.

This Kalloy UNO one is sold out everywhere in 100 mm length unfortunately, it would be perfect (after applying some acetone on the logo) and it's less than 11 Euros. Hope it comes back in stock somewhere.

Thank you, good idea! When I upgrade the stem I'll try to sand some of the coating off and see what can be done. A polished handlebar would suit it much more than this matte black one.

Proper rad.

Ta! Will look even better after my planned upgrades are done.
Will get a nice polished aluminium seatpost as well, turns out it's 27.2 so the number of options are endless.

Yesterday I put the Puch on the repair stand and checked whether the cage of the RD or the derailleur hanger was bent. The hanger was visibly fucked. I sort-of bent it back (carefully, with a solid hub axle), then I ordered a cheap-ish Ztto alignment tool (and a pair of master link pliers while at it), just to be sure. Should be delivered soon.
I installed a spare 700CX derailleur, checked shifting, it's quite perfect now, no chain noise, no twisted cages. It actually looks good on the bike, but I'll put the 105 back on once I perfect the hanger alignment.

And the 105 pedals arrived today, they are awesome, great condition too.
