Wow that's fantastic. The "Cupboard of Doom" as it's been nicknamed, under my stairs could have something like this. As at the moment I just look mentally unhinged with all these bikes in my living space. Is there a batten behind the plasterboard?

I will try this vertical concept! Nice!!

Nope, just 6 plugs and screws to hold it to the plasterboard.

Thanks!

Finished the commuter. Could probably do with a bigger frame but that can wait for something special.

columbus EL OS or Genius or Brain...
A nice 2big frame !

140euros...

Woah what are those cranks?

what are those cranks?

Some sort of cheap Stronglight with the spider swaged to the crank rather than forged in one piece.

I bought this on eBay after an impulsive, last minute, low ball bid. Bit of a mess as it stands but looking forward to getting my hands on it and sorting it out a bit. It'll just get a few bits from the parts bin for now because I'm concerned it might be too big for me. I don't want to spend anything on it just yet until I've worked out if I'll keep it.

Edit: sorry for the incredibly low quality eBay photo.

Size?

I think it's either a 54 or a 55.

Dibs if you sell the frame ;)

forged steel crankarms with alloy cold forged spider... Look nice and not heavy for steel

What is that for ? number ? Mudguards ?

There already is a number plate holder on the top tube. No eyelets on the frame, so mudguards seems unlikely as well.

Rear light would be my guess:

Though it seems kind of low for that, plus it's a race frame right. Cool frame regardless, Gaston!

Thanks

Cheers for the info look like a mistral/strada cross, never seen them before they definitely stand out

Relief from condensation on the inside of the tubing?

It’s easier than having the seatpost out.

It seems unlikely but who knows?

It looks like the sort of fixment for a FD pulley on a CX frame but much higher. Maybe it was for a prototype top pull FD.

edit: joking not joking

A fixing screw for an aerodynamic mini tool box ?

First attempt at a rattle can paint job, any recommendations on cheapest/easiest/quickest way to get a custom decal? Have tried cutting a stencil out of sticky backed plastic but it's pretty shonky looking
