It's essentially going to be my daily rider for commuting. I just needed to get back on a decent steel frame again.
Some parts will be upgraded as time goes on and cash flows again. BB is an Italian threaded 6400 Ultegra, so I'm going to get hold of some 600 tri colour cranks to bling it up a bit.
The whole project has a longwinded ,but cool story to it, but I'm not gonna bore you with my "cool story Bro"

this beaut of a frame came to me a little while ago from Ben in sydney and i had the used DA groupset for next to nothing. paid for the 7700 hubs laced to campy atlanta rims and have tried to imitate Gianni Bugno's racer from just after he became world champion in stuttgart.
Did the full loop with munga and saw elantra this morning on a full loop. Rides like a dream, i'm sooo happy with it!
oooopsies, front wheel is back to front.

I did see the Vaeske Moser "in the flesh" on sunday morning.ldrcycles wrote:Ripper collection vaeske, can't wait to see them in the flesh.
Very neat.
However his riding buddy - (on a very fast looking Repco)- needs some attention to his dress code before the big event.

The main reason for posting is the headset. the original forks were cactus and the bearings partly missing so I bought one of these
Headset
Rather than hacking the frame I just fitted them as is. They don't press in far but I hope will be okay. Its quite a nice headset for the price and the nuts lock up well.

It is only because Elantra has those huge legs like Theo Bos and likes to show them off with lycraelantra wrote:Memo to ____. Bombay bloomers are not approved by the Velominati rules !
Looking forward to July for many reasons now apart from Le Tour. Should be some good bikes on display

I dug my bicycle out of the garden shed last weekend and it cleaned up quite well. It has been in there for at least 15 years.
I was thinking of getting back into occasional cycling and considering getting a Trek 8.4 so I thought I would use my old ride for a while first.
Its nothing special - a Taiwanese made Gemini Triomphe c1989. Any idea what it would be worth if I sell it?
