Gazelle Sprint Track + Swinnerton 24" Lo Pro + Peugeot Ultima + Raleigh Prima

It's all about the hairspray...
Slides right in then sticks ;)

Every time you bump this thread I pray you're selling the gaz... :(
Nevermind... Carry on...

I'm pretty certain she's becoming more and more attached to it. I'm waiting for some good weather for some proper glamour shots

You want it, you drill it

The Peugeot Ultima is more or less finished.

The Gazelle is also more or less finished

I say "more or less" because I have loads of planned changes still to do...

Very late to say but hairspray is okay however the best method for putting grips on is the old BMX method of cable ties...

I like the combination of modern shifters and a classic crankset.

Back to the Prima:

Girlfriend says she likes the pink stripes down the old guards, so tried to re-create that on the new guards by spraying the inside pink.

It's pretty subtle, but I think I like it.

New next to old

Cutting the teeth off to make a chain guard is genius. Loving this thread.

The wheels for the prima are finally done. I reckon the rear nexus/open pro probably weighs the same as the old single speed steel wheel.
Bit narked that the bike shop (I used to work in!!) used plain gauge spokes for the front rather than double butted like I asked for but whatever... mechanics are a special breed

Next is tyre choice for the Prima. I think we're leaning towards black (rather than gum walls) but I don't really know.

Edit: just re-read the thread and gum was definitely mentioned sooooo maybe gum... who knows

Re tyre choice, a creative risk was taken.

Apologies for the shocking photos but ya know, you get the idea
