Nice...

Thanks. It's a bad photo and from another bike. Will post photos as soon as it arrives.

Lovely. Always liked them nineties Wheelers.

No, a black frameset with gold decals.

Thanks!

Where exactly in Roubaix are you building this? Building my own frame is still on my list and Roubaix is "just around the corner".

Spoiler alert. 1993 serotta frame on its way to my place...

3 owners of a PR6000 team bike here on LFGSS.. . what are the odds... 🙂

Almost looks like new. Keep it like that.

I lost mine (the spacer ring)...

I read it somewhere . I believe it was also an"invention" of the frame builder (that Dutch guy, can't remember his name), meant to add stifness without adding extra weight.

For more than obvious reasons: following your build!

O, nice find, @chat_rose ! So there's still early nineties PR6000's out there. Yours has the same pro team specific features as mine (regular shop sold bikes didn't have them): the extended seat tube collar and the "perforated" headset spacer ring.

Can I ask you for a favour? In case you take the forks out of the frame, can you weight them for me? Forks that came with my frame look like Prestige forks but weight a ton. Thanks!

I remember racing a Benelux-cup race on an old landfill, back in the nineties. Believe it was Oss.

Moved the parts temporarily to another early nineties project:

don't remind me of it...

The sprayer suddenly decided to retire so had to look for another one. Didn't found one yet that fits the bill. Prices are outrageous: up to 700 € for a respray.

😁

Enjoy!

I just like straight classic mtb bars.

Yeah, guess so. I'll probably be touring before Autumn comes. Won't survive winter if not. When are you leaving?

But I'm just jealous. I like building tourer bikes starting from vintage mountainbike frames myself, but this year I won't be able to do a bike tour, I'm afraid.

My experience is that in an upright position you never can generate the same power as when more "horizontal". It's all about the "chain of muscles" : when climbing you use all your muscles between your fingers and your toes combined. When you're in a more vertical position, you can't use the muscles from your back optimally (and they're about the most powerfull in the chain). I'm not saying you can't climb mountains in your vertical position, just saying it's less efficient.

Looking great. You won't be doing mountain passes considering the upright position, do you?

Tanwalls look great on it.

I know I should ride them more often but the less time I have to ride, the more bikes I buy and build. So average riding time per bike is declining dramatically. :-) And there's a 1993 Serotta Colorado Legend frame on its way to my house atm...

United they will be! And a pic will follow.

Thanks. Both were top of the range Scott bikes in 1993 (Ritchey Logic / Tange Prestige frame; mtb came with XTR, race bike with DA 7400) and way too expensive for my budget then, so I'm happy I finally know how they ride. :-)

Ages since my last (bike related) visit to this site (been more active in the "LFGSS Art Club" thread actually...) but today I finally finished one of my paused projects. A 1993 Scott AFD 901 to match my 1993 Scott Pro Racing mountainbike.
