650c cannondale tri with hed wheelset turned into ...something

Ah great, didnt know that...

Looks like sunrace does only have 11/13-32 versions of those screw-ons so i will buy one and check whether that works with my rear mech (and, as you said, my chainstay)

Thanks so much!

Hi

I am looking for a screw-on freehub for my old HED disk that i am currently using fixed.

Need it for a 9 or 10 speed cassette

Photo of the thread can be seen below

Does anyone have one spare or can anyone direct me to a shop/ebay where i can buy it?

Many thanks in advance

Sharing my brother‘s CAAD 4 with DA groupset/rims/hubs

Thanks!

It originally ran on x35 panaracer khartoums which i had to replace and which i could not find anymore

Hence, i bought panaracer panaselas in x35 as well but those are much wider than the old ones

Now its really tight clearance but works

Just finished:

Panasonic CB 4000 from 91 (i think)

Many thanks!

Thought of the attached no?

Repainted the racks today and built some amateur fixation from what i had at hand (will be fixed with a screw)

@PhilDAS thanks, can you post a link?

Basically done..

Cockpit ready and racks mounted (the fixations are not the prettiest but given that I have basically no tools doint this secretly i am fine with this)

Made in japan bell in place

Will replace the San Marco for some More modern Japanese saddle though... does not really work with the clean XT post...probably kashimax

Cheers

Thanks

GBP 40 including ship, which I would consider a very fair price, dont you think?

Last part arrived - perfect condition

Hi

Just wanted to share mine

Bought in (i think) 2012 and have done some modifications since

Few things still to be done (frame, front axle, crankz) but so far i am quite happy

guilty @_@

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Two things:

1. does anyone have a suggestion for a decent light system (front and rear). Thinking of non-battery as the bile will probably be used occasionally and then its always a pain not having charged batteries...

2. when i replaced the old panaracer khartoum (700x35) with the new panaracer pasela (700x35) i noted that the new tyrez are much wider.

Why is that?

Funny and ofc appreciated side effect is that clearance is now super right and you almost cant see the mudguards from the side <3

And with the prospective front rack (not yet mounted)

Thanks!

After some cleaning and with some new parts put on provisorily, i think it looks not too bad

Alright...

Removed and threw away some stuff

Hi there

Since I have missed to document my earlier projects, I would like to do so with my current one (will be a quick one hopefully):

I am about to build a „new“ bike for my wife as she does not like her current cheapo road bike. The new bike should be capable to take some load for touring, but should also run smoothly for everyday urban use.

First, i thought about buying a new gravel bike whatsoever, but we all know that this is just too easy. Then, after briefly thinking about buying a used one, I remembered but my mum‘s good old Panasonic CB4000 trekking bike from the early 90s. So, eventually, i ended up digging out this beauty.

Back then it was a high quality 28“ trekking bike and since she has moved it for a stunning total of about 150km since the ourchase, I thought that was a good basis. It uses a shimano DX/XT groupset and panaracer Khartoums mounter on araya rims with DX hubs

After 15 years of storage, the panaracers still had some pressure on them...

The frame is like new and everything else, too,(note the black painted and yet untouched braking surface on the front wheel) except for a little cleaning. Paint job is a nice mix of decent colors and trash 90s patterns

Plan is to

• remove and throw away unnecessary/ugly parts

• replace rusted parts and wearing parts

• give it a clean look (in particular remove bottle cage, replace stem/bar

• put on a front rack (identical to the rear one for opticZ)

• use Japanese parts if possible (so far, saddle and racks are non-Japanese, so should be not more than that)

Would also love to go for a black crank/chainrings but since they are basically new I dont think its appropriate to change this right now...

Will update in the next days...

Cheers

Someone please buy this frame

That guy also has further cool vintage MTB stuff
