X2!

Cheers!

sure thing

New bars, grips, cables and tyres. Just need the shim to arrive so bars fit properly and we’re good to go.

Have you tried the tin foil trick on the rust? It's surprising how well it works

Wow.

Nice Dad bike!

... any idea who build this frame?

Nah, he definitely would have felt that the tubes were dented and stopped before going that far.

bars are tragic, what the derailleur?

Ha, great read

“Holy moly - it’s Robocop meets Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen”

Looks very good!

Just read up on this. Seems easy enough. Will definitely give it a try. Thanks!

I had the same question about the dérailleur, what about the crankset?

what about the crankset?

Probably Tune Fastfoot

Thanks!

Show the marking on the fork, it will help !

I bought only the frame, without a fork, some years ago. The rear dropouts are from campagnolo.

I knew there was an American one which looked similar to Tune, but couldn't remember the name. Which is surprising as my cranks came from one of the brothers after they split 🙂

I tried a bullhorn bar in the earlier stages of the project, but the angle of the toptube and the stem didn`t line up very well, so I decided to mount the nitto stuff. Maybe I change the dropbar for an old Syntace Stratos bar.

If you can find one, the Cinelli LA84 lines up beautifully with a LoPro and track stem, and you can rest your wrists on the downward sloping part so they're super comfy too.
