There's actually two downtubes. :P

Fork is indeed CrMo, and the grey tab actually holds a little hoop at its end, where you route the shift cables, so they don't rub on the headtube.

@jtfh That pulls the dynamo towards the rear wheel.

@Tijs Thanks! The Marin for sure. Will need some more gear range if I actually want to tour it though. Project for next year I reckon. :)

Fantastic write up! Makes me wanna take a week off and just ride into the sunset...

Thanks! Hope to have it ready by the weekend. Then hope to sell it in a few days.

And if everything goes well, by the end of next weel I will also have this one here.
Planning to upgrade it with compact bars, a black Turbo saddle and a set of ~700x25C folding tyres. It's another machine that I don't ever want to sell.

So the Diamondback was sold in a day. New owner will get a custom frame bag for it and will take the bike to France to do some big touring. I'm happy that it found a good home so quickly.

In other news I now own a neat 1997 Koga-Miyata RoadRunner, which was an absolute bargain. Double butted aluminium tubing, 3x8 gears, mix of LX and STX parts, almost a catalog build. Already starting fixing it up, needs a new chain, cables and brake pads then it's ready to go.
Perfect example of "too nice to keep", I wanted a bike that I can lock anywhere, and this obviously doesn't fall into that category... oh well.

This is how I collected it when I was living out in Rotterdam, for the grand sum of 50euro. It was pretty much stock but I had to strip it down mostly to transport it back to the UK. Similar bikes can be found in the NL for pennies.

I bought a similar one for 70 euros in Rotterdam two days ago. :) Although mine is aluminium unfortunately.

Perfectly rad!

This is so darn cool!

Long live the triple. And 9sp. And bar end shifters.

Amen.

Have to N-1, so the Diamondback is up for sale now, discount for lufuguss people. If anyone's interested hit me up, Netherlands only. With some extra parts and accessories. Will take some more pics over the weekend.

Woohoo, that's gonna be good!

From local ads.

Generally not a fan of Lows but this one I like a lot.

Dreamy!

This one on the other hand got to see some use. Millstones for size reference.

Thanks! Actually no idea, didn't get to try it yet. Hopefully over the weekend.

It looks mean with beefy tyres. Might keep the mudguards actually.

My kind of thread. Love it, can't wait to see how it turns out!

Oh yes.

Amazing views, both in and outside!

Absolute dream machine.

Oh I see, I didn't at first glance recognize how tukt it is. Looks wild anyway! Wheelers are very underrated imho, they usually look and ride great!

Exquisite.

That Georama is insane.

Very cool, and fantastic paintjob, chain could use some tension though. Half link maybe?
