Nice.

This is excellent. No rear rack mounts for the Marin?

It won't be used with rear rack. Maybe some front rando rack... and if I gonna use any fenders, there are axle-mount options anyway.

I don’t know how I could even think about selling this...

Such a strong page!

This is lovely!

Awol is sold now, so I’ve changed few things in my „rando”, so I can use it as everyday commuter. Also, barend shifters suck!

This is a really nice conversion ! Well done !

Awol is sold now

Did I miss it go on here?! Would have snapped that up

New bike looks great, how are the brakes?

Also, barend shifters suck!

How many speed? Sell them to me.

Biek looks very good!

Thanks people,
@spotter I sold it locally in Poland where I live. Brakes are...not as good as discs, I have to get used to it, maybe clean braking surfaces or try to set up them a little bit different. But they’re still gonna be just old long reach calipers. Anyway it’s not a race bike, so I don’t need anchors.
@Tijs they where 8s, but right one skips gears when in index mode, maybe it just needs clean up, maybe it’s just sth wrong with mechanism. I used friction mode, also with 8s cassette and it worked just fine, I just prefer brifters.

It’s good as it looks now, but I get bored quickly, so when it happens my plans are:
-proper mudguards like GB or VO (these are like 5£ pair, they work, but not the prettiest ones and could be longer)
-more classic front end, maybe I’ll try Nitto Randonneur with shorter stem
-and ofc skinwalls

Also, thread says about Serotta, so I’ll post some pics as soon as I get it back from painting. This gonna be nice one, I promise

Wheelset is ready

I’ve done some chainstay crimping, so I can fit Pari Motos 42c. Rides better, looks better, win win.

I’m pretty sure I have everything to build this beauty!
On the other news, should I look for lower headset? This is Tange falcon with cartridge bearing, but I was stupid enough not to measure stereer before mounting the headset. Will this work without washer, or am I a dead man allready?
