Baby Blue Tamari Build

Postby Dan » Wed Oct 17, 2012 11:58 pm

Some of you may be familiar with the 56cm Tamari I picked up at the meet on Sunday. Mulger Bill has a detailed Tamari thread, so I won't repeat historical details. Think erle may have one, too?

56 square - gipiemme dropouts F&R - included gipiemme BB also. 1950g frame, 650g fork for 2600g total - lightest frameset I've had. Over bracket cable routing - stamped 7777 on underside of the bracket, along with 56 for sizing, along with a mystery 616 thrown in for good measure.

8 speed Campagnolo Mirage group - eBay, but a forum member :)
Stronglight heasdset (donated kindly by the Europa I bought a few weeks ago)
New veloce bottom bracket
32h frankenwheelset - campag rear, 600 tricolour FH for the time being.

after this afternoon's hour and a half session:

Bars and seatpost to come - most likely 3ttt Competizione or Deda Speciale. First foray into 27.2 territory, so need to source a post. Also need to source a 60mm stem - I run a short stem/short reach setup.

Saddle most likely a white Selle Italia XR I have floating about, until I finally order a brooks team professional - Munga, we really need to do that. Dark grey tape and black cable outers, I'd say.

It looks good so far and sounds like it is going to be a nice riding bike when it is finished.

I think I have the darker grey, but yes, let's have a look. Nice to know you have shortish stems, too!

Thanks Gary. My bet is it rides better than the Viner :|

Nice colour too. Great looking bike. Had never heard of Tamari as a bike only as a Soy Sauce :)

The only thing i don't like is that it shows me up to be lso lazy. You guys whip these up in a weekend, but i sit there thinking about what bits to put on what bike, etc, etc. I've just gotta get in the shed and do it.

There was a period of weeks compiling parts that preceded this - even still, I don't yet have everything I need. It just happened that the frame was clean and the BB came out really easily. The viner was a much dirtier build - or perhaps I'm becoming more efficient.

Anyway, I might borrow the saddle from the single speed (selle italia skippy edition) as the white is a bit too light against the blue.

Yeah, I was looking at that frame at Pushies and on Sunday. Would have liked to have it if it was 2cm smaller. Nice blue.

I sure did but sold it recently... sigh. Funnily enough, my partner has a frame from John Mildenhall cycles which I thought was a nice coincidence.

Here's my old Tamari:

I love the blue on yours, Diggerdan.

Had a hub swap happen, so have just rebuilt the temporary front wheel until such time as I can piece together a proper wheelset, gods of the ebayze be kind. Interim headset has arrived too, but am waiting on a campag number from canadromangaria or somewhere.

I'll guess 9.6kg David - 32h wheels will keep it up there, as will leather saddle.

Have only weighed frame and fork thus far - 2600g together.

10.5kg taped up and ready to roll. That's the price one pays for an oldish, lower end group and 32h wheels. Looking forward to raturday though!
