Bike after:
The original stickers mention dura ace, but it had some 600ex components and generic brakes when I got it. Bike is now my commuter with 600ex drivetrain and brake levers, early shimano friction bar end shifters, weinmann centre pulls given the distance needed to reach the rims, suzue hubs, 27inch wolber modele 58 rims and the obligatory brooks saddle.

Nice work. I've got a frame in the shed that looks very similar to your before picture.
Mine is unbranded and has a Tange 900 sticker, although the condition of the sticker makes me suspect it isn't original
Your build has given me some ideas....after I finish the Raleigh of course...

and as at 9 Sept 2011
a temp setup for our Hérocia ride held on 9 Sept 2011, with up to 24% gradient on damp dirt roads.
Shimano Nexus 8 speed IGH with twist shift changer, drop bars, brake levers will soon be removed and replaced with a SA 3 speed AW hub, SA quadrant shifter, north rd style shallow drop celluloid covered bars with suitable flat bar brake levers.
It will keep the recovered Brooks saddle frame which has been modified with a reshaped cantleplate.

That's bit naughty, you have put 531 stickers on what looks very much like a standard Peugeot tubed frame, you can see the tubing sticker in the before picture.damhooligan wrote:Not my bike, but I helped with the restoration.

It was directed at your client. I shoulda clarified. You prodded his conscience a couple of times by asking.damhooligan wrote: Boo hiss, is a bit much...

things I do to get a frame like that Mr Rusty. noice job.
Here's mine my first fg/ss project.
Old Speedwell 10 speed from 70s. stripped it all back.
No work done to the frame apart from a good 'ol polish, New Brev M parts and comes in at a handy 8.9kg with 46x17 ratio.

The bike dates from the late 60's as far as I can tell. I have aimed at equipping it as it might have been in the early 70's.

I'll put a more detailed post up with specs etc in it's own thread when I get more time.

Hi richard.WyvernRH wrote:Well I finally finished the Dick Tressider! I decided to do the transers myself as I couldn't justify the cost of getting Greg at Cyclomondo to do a one off set.

That looks good.
Love the color, that is really nice.
How did you do the transfers ?
Would love to see some more detailed pict of those..

OK more detailed pics in this thread http://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewt ... 23&t=32522damhooligan wrote: How did you do the transfers ?

I did the layout using a mix of Paintshop, Paint.Net and Microsoft Word and printed them on transfer sheets I obtained from our local model shop (I got the idea after making some transfers for a modelling friend)
The head tube and scrolls are on white sheet and the down tube transfers are on clear sheet. I sealed them with Tamiya acrylic clear lacquer before cutting them out with a scalpel and applying them. They are not cleared over in case it all goes pear shaped in the weather but I'm hoping the laquer will protect them. The shield like thing is an old generic transfer I had which also got a coat of acrylic lacquer to hold it together after the first one disintegrated in the water....Seems to have worked well.
Nowhere near up to Greg's standard at Cyclomondo but I am happy with them as a first attempt.
Cheers
Richard

The total cost to me is $37 recycling parts I had lying around and I mean everything including the inner outer cables bartape and tyres.
I got this 1988 superlight for $2 using the frame fork and gear shifters.
And used this 1992 superlight using the whole groupset I rode for a while with the exage wheels with kinlin rims but they were pretty crap so pulled some off another bike.
Used 105 levers I had with new hoods the original exage ones were all sticky.
And this is how it finished up. Better than I thought myself and worth riding for a while.
The exage rear derallier works perfectly as a 9speed with indexing off also the steerings abit slow compaired to my race bikes but I like it.
Not bad for $37 spent mainly on paint.
