This girl should have looked at the photos properly before she uploaded them to myspace.
Seller is "sugartit_2". LOL.

Concorde is awesome.
Wish the photo was taken in the big ring though.

Some more shots of mine, need to raise the seatpost a pinch more, and decide if I want to wrap the bars or not. Or maybe put my bulls on it. Also looking for some straight track forks for a bit tighter clearance on the front. This bike is so much fun to ride!
Just chuck bigger tyres on it. That'll tighten the front end right up.
-
Shifters arrived this moring.
So close to finishing.
-
Not sure how much can be fit in one of these, but looks like it'd be good for a overnight stay at a pub, etc when all you need is a change of clothes.
They're made by Fairweather out of Japan (who also are selling some nice tyres CX and touring-esque made by Panaracer, CX frames by Toyo and stems made by Nitto) The website is http://fairweather.cc.
I've only seen them for sale on the Blue Lug site, which isn't very helpful if you're not Japanese, but I'm thinking about getting one when I'm there in May. They come in black, olive green and brown.

I never believed that folk down under were ill educated.... Then I read this ^ .
I don't get it. Fully wrapping bars from the top down makes no sense. Your hands just get caught on the edges of the tape and makes them roll up.

Cyclocross season nearly over, but I couldn't resist this.
1980 (approx.) Superia Gemini Cross, almost completely original. Picked up this morning for EUR 50.- and some fuel.
Pitty it's not Superia (baby) blue.
One of the famous cyclocross brands from the past.
Ishiwata 022 tubing, Dia Compe cantilever brakes, Ofmega chain set, single chain ring with double guides, Sun Tou V-Lux rear mech, Power Ratchet bar end shifter, tubular tyres, Ariake saddle (NJS!!! on a cross bike. Who wants it?), etc.
Needs new brake levers, cross pedals, new tubulars, smaller chain ring, proper cassette and another saddle. Maybe will give it Mafac cantis.
Nice project, this one is not to show off but will be taken into the dirt.
Awesome. Keeping it as a bar end shifter?
-
Oops, epic fail on the frame builder naming front. 3 Rensho, or, if you really want to ingratiate yourself with the NJS poseurs, San Rensho
Pronouncing it San Rensho is the correct way, not the poseur way. It's a Japanese builder, so it should always be "san", not 3.

John Prolly's Merckx is my fave
Lives in Adelaide, Australia now.

More inspiration...
-
Nice! Reminds of the Sachs race bikes.
Awesome. Thanks.
-
Nah. Dedicated CX frame. Tight geometry, no water bottle bosses, not drilled for brakes / guards and no rack mounts.
-
Maybe, but those old Unicanitor's are just so comfortable.
-
I was bored today and started putting it together. Initially I was going to just put the BB in and make sure it fit okay, but I got carried away.
(Sorry for Instagram photo)
At the stage, the cranks are fitted (still need to get a smaller big ring), the brakes are fitted, but not adjusted, wheels fitted, cassette fitted (but I need the lockring tool) and the front and rear derailleur fitted. I have the headset as well, but I'm waiting for my friend to come round and install it. The angle of the bars isn't perfect either. Oh, the seat and seat post need adjusting too.
Hopefully the parts I've ordered online will be here soon and it will be finished.

prolly made me despise purple anodized parts to this day
ftfy

That bike is rad. ;)
