Really nice bike. I've been wanting to build up a bike for my GF for a while. Just waiting for a decent candidate/donor and some free time.
Spoted a nice looking bike a few weeks back on the verge, didn't pick it up as I was on the way to Uni. Looked for it on the way back a couple hours later and it was gone.

Yep Im glad I didnt buy the longer Technomic stem, but its quite comfortable with the high handlebars.aaron wrote:The stem looks a long way out! Beautiful bike though.
Spot on but the label isnt really a sticker, I had lightly scrub it with some fine steel wool to remove the label.Clydesdale Scot wrote:What brand are those silver reverse levers, I can only find black.

i think these look a little bit nicer than the tektros, not that the tektros are not good looking. i would have bought these had I known they existed at the time.

I never got around to building my Vogue frame up, it's now on eBay, though the paint isn't as nice as yours.
Also noted another thread where one of these got built up: http://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewt ... ue#p792606
Thats 3 very nice looking vogues! Glad they're not all ending up at the metal recyclers.

I have had a mixte in the shed for at least 2 years that I have been meaning to resto, but riding has won out over working on bikes lately. I don't seem to be able to fit both in!
great new pics tho
