very nice bike btw

I'd rather ride a turd on wheels than this atrocious thing

I'm personally not a fan of the colour, but the rest is extremely well done, congrats! I hope one day I'll be able to build such a rad machine for my dad, although he's a die hard roadie...

I fixed the problem by tossing on a 12T small cog, and it indeed works. Didn't have a spacer at home unfortunately, that would've been my go-to solution.

Aaaand I have found my answer here...

"The 11T Hyperglide cogs also have issues with this freehub. Due to the smaller diameter of the 11T cog, it has a reinforcing flange that prevents the cog from from fully seating on a standard Hyperglide freehub. It is intended for a Hyperglide -C(ompact) freehub with the outer edge of splines being relieved. Still, an 11T Hyperglide cog will work on standard Hyperglide freehub like yours but the entire cassette will sit slightly farther out and require a spacer behind the large cog. This shift may cause clearance issues with the frame stays."

Long story short I have to find another small cog.

I might have overexaggerated with the 2mm, it's closer to 1 I guess.

Will snag a pic or maybe a video when I get home. The freehub is rock solid, the casette is "loose" on it.

I don't think there is, it's built into the small cog basically, as it's quite wide. Hub is definitely 7 speed, whole thing is factory stock.

Hey guys, this issue is bogging my mind and I can't seem to fix it. There's a 7-speed RX100 hub, with its original cassette on the freehub. The locking is tightened maximally, but there's play on the cassette. The smallest cog casuses the issue somehow, the rest of the cassette doesn't even touch that one. So it's fully up in place, but there's just too much room on the freehub body and there's like 2 mm of play at least. Once again, this is a stock hub and its stock cassette. The small spacer between the 5th and 6th cog is present, so it should be perfect, but in reality it's not. I tried 2 different 11T cogs from random other cassettes I could find, and the issue is still the same. Does anyone have a clue how to proceed? Thanks!

seconded

That's so utterly ridiculous, I want one. Too bad I only have quill bikes.

Thought the groupset was Santé at first (main reason behind buying it), but I cannot say I'm bummed out by the fact it is "just" white RX100.

So this happened. Probably just a quick restore-and-sell project. Paint is insanely good in the sunlight, green pearl on blue base.

Before and after cleaning:

Looks minty fresh, more pics please!

Fantastic, both the bike and the writeup. Thank you for keeping us entertained!

Instead of going for a whole new cockpit at once, I decided to give the old XLC drops a go with the current 100 mm stem. Bit stretchy but it seems ok after a quick test.
So, this bar has a very weird shape, 69 mm reach, 5° backsweep, and a reaaaally long flat section at the bottom. I used to hit the shifters with my knees regularly when pedalling out of the saddle. Prevention method: hacksaw.

All I need are brake levers to finish this, but I believe they will have to wait until next month.

Oh man, that's an amazing find, lovely! I'm also keeping an eye out on RIH frames/bikes, but they usually get sold in less than 5 mintues after the listing appears on Marktplaats...

Awesome, both the writeup of your adventure and the bike itself! I love coming back to this thread with each update.

I'll try to learn the language by then, count me in anyways.

Might not be as stiff or light, but it looks better than any modern carbon thingy imho. Fantastic bike mate.

Sequoias are a nice choice, very elegant. Looks great already!

I'd need something wider with more backsweep for maximum comfort, but they do the job for now.

Ta, me too!

Oh man, if only I was based in UK... Rad bike, bargain for this price if all works well.
