I couldn't articulate why I liked the yellow and black when normally I don't, but you've nailed it there...diggerdantheman wrote:Its surprisingly non-bumblebee for a bumblebee.

There's a real bronze/gold sheen to it actually, where the yellow has faded with age.Ozkaban wrote:I couldn't articulate why I liked the yellow and black when normally I don't, but you've nailed it there...diggerdantheman wrote:Its surprisingly non-bumblebee for a bumblebee.

Took it on an easy 13km commute this morning to rough out any issues.
I need to adjust low gear derailluer setting (I know, i just tried out the high chainring), and close up the front brake a touch but otherwise its really nice.
Probably should've ordered an 11-23 cassette instead of the 12-25 I did, but that's perhaps because I'm used to the resistance of the single speed. Didn't top out down Mina Parade so perhaps its okay.

Riding retro steel with modern components is the absolute best funtime you can have with your clothes on IMO.

Hey, thanks! I really like the new drivetrain/old steel thing - feels like a new bike - actually better, since I know everything is properly tightened and adjustedclydesmcdale wrote:After finishing my first build... a Carbon Campy, with this inspiration, next will be a retro steel with Campy goodies for sure. Lovely bike

Yep, the bike that you assemble yourself with care, and tune in to suit you is the sweetest ride of all. Total confidence!diggerdantheman wrote:I really like the new drivetrain/old steel thing - feels like a new bike - actually better, since I know everything is properly tightened and adjusted

Also, lucky I didn't go for 28s - otherwise I'd have to deflate the tyre each time to get it past the derailleur clamp.

I defer to the man in the know. I was working (in a wholly uneducated fashion, mind) off the cable stays on the bottom bracket.vaeske wrote:mate i'd say that would be a mid to late 80s viner. 70s steel wouldn't have had recessed bridges yet.

Nice work.
Cool pics Dan, nice bike (no I'm saying zip about finger massagers on proper retro bikes), remember bro, I know where you live.
Reckon I won't be able to keep up on the on Vertex tomorrow.
Thanks for alerting me to the photo scores, in future I'll attempt to score as low as possible.
