That glitter stem is awesome! Is it homemade?

Update!

Plemos double leather straps arrived. Still after Engine 11's tho, at least they've replied after over a month of silence.

Also the colossi is almost done. Only waiting for a pair of Time RXSs.

Cromo sold? Pm sent.

From the local FB group. Tried to ask the seller about the origin, but he told me he buys them from another guy.

@PHRESHSLAYTE
Thanks! I bought it as a used full front wheel laced with Araya Red from japan through eBay. I had luck, the whole stuff cost less than $100.

@haveo
Yep, I've been thinking about silver components, but really don't wanna spend on it, so trying to swap it at first place. Plan B is get some trisodium phosphate and remove the anodised paint.
The rack is some noname stuff, looks like an Altran Velo Jumbo knock off, only with thinner tubes in diameter.

Cheers!

Current build with temporary front wheel.
Turns out the front rack i bought wont fit the bolt on novatec hub.
Also ended up with a miche rear.

I find it way too black by the way, thinking of a way to add some colours. More stickers? Spary can?

If there is enough thread to fit another cog, I think it will be fine if You glue them on. Obviously it's better to be on the safe side, I just really like the battered look.

Today's loot.

Stem and seatpost in.

Correct me if I am wrong, but there should be 1mm error in the chainline. Both the miche and the S75 are ISO tapered, however the S75 would give 42mm with a 109 spindle. Which You wont notice.

This is my 2nd favourite build of yours after the anchor :) Looking hella good!

Gotta find another rim, stem and handlebar, pedals and seatpost. Also planning front brake and a basket/rack, but probably getting these only in April as I am out of budget.

"Painted" the fork with lacquer marker, really did not like the green decal.
Also ordered novatec hubs. Goal is to stay under £380.

@vp1337
Thanks!

In the meantime I've realized I need a beater as I'm way too worried about the Duell.

So the next project is on, bought a Colossi Cheekko with carrera carbon forks, gonna equip it with my spare parts.

Somewhat finished state.

Somebody take the frameset, i need the straps!

And finally some quality pics.

It was in the local (hunagrian) FB group. From the pictures it seemed it was the "russian stash" frame https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/229440/

The bike might be up for sale. Let me know if you are interested.

Edit: no way. I'll rather sell my macbook.

Edit2: Welp, there was a cinelli laser pursuit frame (the fork built-in handlebar clamp version) for sale for less than a thousand quid. Obviously sold in an hour.

@1993, @HHC cheers!

Recovering the saddle is trickier than i thought - the shape wont help either.

Looking great so far!
But to be hones I am more excited about the rat Osca.

Finally had a test ride - butter smooth!
Also Kashimax is here, stripped it, now only need to recover it. Also hopefully I can get my hands on a pair of Engine 11 straps, then I'll call it finished.

In the meantime I bought a LYTRO. Neat lil' thing I gotta say.

Neat!
If the bike is split, I'd grab 'em.

Pm about straps

Bit off, but what pedal straps are those?

@haveo @vaverak Thanks guys!

Weather is cr@p eversince I've assembled the bike, it's driving me crazy that i cant take her for even a testride.
