Fuck me that's one awesome bike

This one is collecting dust for 2 years. I will bring it back on track with wound up forks and either a 10s 105 groupset or a 9s dura ace

somehow this frame seems to be upside down

Better ?

ahh yes, wound up and 105 would be nice!

Tu n'as pas la Wound Up de V4 ? Il ne l'as pas séparé du cadre quand-même !?!
C'est un cadre Nemo pour du matos haut de gamme performant type neorétro 11V AMHA,
Bon montage !

Si bien sûr, elle n'est juste pas sur la photo !
Le 11v j'aimerais bien mais si je craque ce sera pour le cannondale.

Replacement for my 26" Cotic Simple, moved parts over where applicable. Couldn't be bothered to shorten the brake hoses, hence the weird routing. Even the larger frame size is not very long, but at least on the short morning ride it didn't feel too cramped. Planning to get a dropper post at some point.

Looks interesting, do post a photo when done or better still start a project thread. Very cool

Thanks ! I don't think it worth to start a thread for it as I don't plan to spend money in it.
The build is nearly done.

How are people attatching flappys for their mudguards?

Bovril? super glue? good faith? hammer and nail?

With a drill and a pair of bolts or by rivet

Sounds less exciting than glue and glitter. But ill take it!

Thanks

So here is the scapin and some new bits for the caad10.

Scapin looks awesome!

Thanks !

Some small things to do, like get a black big ring, some new brakes (I'm thinking shimano T615) and sort the flaps but otherwise done.

650b is a good look on that bike!

It's effectively looking more like my Elephants! (I'm getting flat bar on it too, and have the same low rider).

I know drops are cool looking and all but I can ride for so much longer with flats.

I think the silver ring works perfectly.

With black ring, in case you were wondering:

Oh thanks for that good to see, I was wondering about black racks earlier bringing some black bits in. But you're right it doesn't look great.

Silver inner ring is what you need.

It looks bloody great.
