Arlecchino's consolidated CP Thread: mostly steel & outdated.

Cheers, you're bikes are always inspiring so thanks for that! If you have any insider-advice regarding touring in denmark, let me know :)

Touring in Denmark is pretty straight forward.
Open street maps includes all the public cycle ways and they are usually very quite rural roads, cycleways or dirt tracks.

And this site should help you if you plan on camping/using shelters..

Thanks for the link!

The Bikes are basically ready and i’m getting proper excited to start this weekend :) pics will follow...

If you come by Odense, send me PM and I'll buy you a beer/show you around :)

And I treated myself to another vanity frame. I guess it’s safe to say that this frame is peak italian flamboyance...

Shiiiiiiit. Crazy!

There is a great app showing all public shelters and campgrounds as well:

Probably also available for Apple users.

Wow the top on the seat stays are amazing. Looks great with that paint. What’s the build plan? Or are you going to mount on wall in living room and just sit and smile at it. (I would :)!)

This is hideous. No grace, even less of a good taste.

Fuck. Wish it was mine ;)

@MisterMikkel that’s very kind, i might take you up on the offer if we’re in the area :)

I don’t really have build plans for the boschetti, it’s a little bit small for me so it won’t see that much use. I was thinking of maybe taking the c-record from the serotta for the boschetti to replace it for sram force or ultegra.

What do you guys think about this bodge - fork mounted bottle cages with lowrider mounts and p-clips:

Quick snap of the final set-up: we were out of black bartape and I had to replace the front wheel since the cxp11 caused excessive brake judder - so the final result looks a little mix’n’match, I like it tho :)

Locked and loaded!

How do you like those Passport bags? Never seen them before.

And the other half’s:

Can’t really comment on the durability yet. They’re a budget friendly kit and I got them 2nd hand from a colleague. I have my doubts that they’re properly waterproof but that’s ok since most of the water-sensitive luggage is in the ortliebs. Hope you’re enjouing your UK tour, as well! :)

Well, they match the Ortliebs nicely. Should be good.

Hope you’re enjouing your UK tour, as well! :)

I'm back home again! Hope you have fun on yours.

Wow, this bikes looks really great! The battle cages on the fork are probably form > functionality, especially if you’re touring in Europe

Greetings from Denmark!

Sweet

Super cool!

Thanks :) It took a few days to get used to the flexy front end but now I‘m loving it and couldn‘t be happier :)

Looks good. What's your route?

Cheers :) We rode from Berlin to Rostock, took the ferry to Gedser, continued to loland and from there to Mon. We stopped there for a few days and continued our way to copenhagen via faxe. From Copenhagen we took the train to Malmö and rode along the coast to Trelleborg with a quick stop in Falsterbo. I’m back in Berlin now and I already miss being out on a bike. Maybe I need to go on a long tour in the not so distant future, we’ll see :)

Some updates. The marin got a complete overhaul with a DX Crankset & Black chainrings, new wheelset (araya to dx hubs), deore xt thumbies and a few anodized bits. Excuse the shitty phone pic.

I almost finished the Signature professional for now. I still need to fill in the pantos and I haven’t put on new tubs because I’d rather have silver rims. So the wheels will be swapped eventually. And if I ever come across the original pantographed chainring, brakelevers and stem at a reasonable price, I’ll change them as well.
