"You came across it"

Than i'm curious where! Nice project! Any ideas on how you are going to build it up?

Flea market.
I'm going to build it up with the little money i have. I need a lot of parts so every single one of m will be cheap. Maybe at some point i will do a proper, period correct build up with sexy parts. Will post some parts soon on here.

Original post: http://www.lfgss.com/thread44162-39.html#post2589768

The drilled rear brake bridge and drilled lugs around the head tube are similar to a lot of RIH frames.

Went to see Wim van der Kaaij @ RIH. He told me RIH has never drilled lugs or used the (flattened) chain stays my track frame has... He thought it could be a Bergh Sport build from the 70s. Also an Amsterdam frame builder. Updates of the build here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread79453.html

Was pretty pleased when i came across this piece of sh*t the other day.. always wanted to restore a classic track bike.

(Details after removing some of its parts:)

As you can see it was build up as a roadie with parts from different brands. De left crank arm was still there (165 Campagnolo Pista) but the right one was replaced by a Sistar one.

I've build it up with some parts i had laying around to see if the size and geo were alright for me.

Used it a couple of times like that but couldn't let it stay ratty. So i broke it apart again. First thing i wanted to do was a repaint. The bike originally was blue and white, it later got a pretty bad paint job in yellow and white. So i took the parts off it and sanded it.

At this point i really wanted to know who had build this bike. If it was something spectacular i might want to put down an extra few euro's to paint it properly.
I already posted it in 'Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?' (here) and (here). Forumenger Zouo thought it was a RIH because of the drilled rear brake bridge and the drilled lugs. Because i live 10 minutes away from the guy who still makes these steel frames i paid m a visit. He told me right away it wasn't a RIH-build frame. The drilled lugs were never done by RIH and the chainstay on it wasn't either (the ones on my bike are too flat on the inside, or something like that..). The guy (Wim van der Kaaij, an absolute hero, still producing steel frames at the age of 75) then told me the frame i had was probably a Jaap van der Bergh's 'Bergh Sport' bike. This frame builder also lived in Amsterdam and made frames that looked a lot like RIH's. With this info i returned home, now i know it isn't RIH i will splash some blue/greyish color on it and build it up before spring starts.

Some bike-porn entertainment can be found on the Tube of You's, mini-documentairy on mr Van der Kaaij @ RIH:

Yeah.. so i kind of bought the wrong stem the other day...
In need of a Shimano hidden bolt stem size 70 or 80mm and with a clamp size of 26.0.

For you i have a Shimano 600 stem in size 110 or 70mm with a clamp size of 25.4.
For these 2 stems i only have one cap (for a new one by noca >>> http://www.lfgss.com/thread60325.html) and only one is functioning well (i can switch the inside workings so either stem will work, just not at the same time).

Bought the 70mm stem to be used with my Nitto RB-210 bars that have a clamp size of 26.0. If anyone knows of some similar bars with a clamp size of 25.4 please tell me. And why the fuck doesn't Nitto sell these in 25.4?!

70mm:

110mm:

Not for now. Got some other projects. Maybe later...

Not looking for a trade anymore, found a 70mm 600AX online somewhere.

Had some fun days with this bike as it is now..
..but i need gears. Looking for a rear 700c FiR Super Rialto Grid rim or wheel to match the front one.

Help my bike out before it ends up in the Hip Hop Slave Bikes / Hipster Sleds forum.

Thanks

I have two stems that are a bit too big for me. The Dura Ace 100mm stem is currently on my Concorde TT (size 26 / 22.2). The 110mm 600 is a size 25.4 / 22.2. Both stems are used but in good condition. Looking for a similar stem in 80mm.
I've got one cap for the stems and would like to keep it, if you have a stem for trades but not the cap ---> noca http://www.lfgss.com/thread60325-2.html

Made by "the #1 branded bike supplier in the world", not sure if they sell rendered pictures of bikes or real bikes though...

Rih

really? the shop is 10 minutes away... might as well check it next week. But why do you think it is a RIH?

Posted this track bike build up as a roadie a while ago:
http://www.lfgss.com/thread44162-34.html#post2396259
Nobody knew anything.

Now i've removed the paint maybe someone has an idea?
Details:

• 531 Reynolds
  
• Found in Holland
  
• had a campy 165 pista crank
  
• seat post size 27.0
  
• campy track ends (and fork-drop outs)
  
• was probably standard blue before respray
  
• bb was a Sugino 1.37 x 2.47
  
• Nothing stamped on the bb, inside the head tube, on the lugs
  
• Seat tube stamped (upside down) with 'Reynolds 531'
  
• Fork stamped with 'Reynolds 531' (not upside down)
  
• Left side of the fork stamped with '0 5 76'
  
• Right side of the fork stamped with '420 5 6'
  
  

any thoughts?

think i'll stick with my 650 concorde forks lol

pics!

KNSMeiland represent!

:)

finally made a decent photo of my Astore TT

can't help you out recognising it but if you're selling it I would be interested.

Might sell after restoring it, need to find out what I'm restoring first though...

Have you pulled put the seatpost and checked for anything further down? If seen quite a few brand names stamped down around the limit marker along with the seatpost size.

Just did and there's nothing there. Found out it has a left Campy Pista 165 crankarm (right crank arm/spider is Sistar (?!)), and that the bottom bracket is a Sugino 1.37 x 2.47. The seat stay tubing is a bit triangular shaped.
I thought the lugs (see photo's above) would ring a bell with someone, they don't look very standard..

Found a trashed track frame build up as a roadie in a shed. Was wondering what brand it is since there are no stickers, badges, serial numbers. The details that might help: it's a Reynolds 531 build, has a campagnolo patent headset, think the white paint is original, but the yellow parts used to be blue. Pics:

Hope you guys can help me out!

Ill say it again - i love your bike! (mainly the saddle)

Thanks mate (again), I'll stop posting it in different threads now :P

'Bout those Gilles Berthouds, never understood why they aren't as popular as them Blooks. Maybe it's a patriotic thing...

wow, that's better news than expected...
but still, if i take a look at my FixMeUp-Graph, i can't really run (just almost) any gear right?
I would still be limited by the vertical blue line, but then maybe with a difference of 1 or 2 mm.?

In the end i got a pretty tight chain by using a halflink and a magic gear. Got a spare sprocket laying around for when my chain stretches (if it does..)

Possible repost

how many lo-pro's you've got Bjorn?!

Posted it in Current Projects the other day, so you might have seen it already..

Collected parts for about 7 months.. still lusting for a rear FiR Super Rialto.

what lever is that on the concorde? Looks like its machined from billet sexh.

looks like a paul

It is.

What saddle is that?

It's a Gilles Berthoud Soulor saddle (cork) #0954 of the 2009 edition to be exact. Detail on these saddles is awesome:
