I built up the Guadrini, despite my brother telling me it was too small and to sell it, like an earworm, I ignored him, when he came round he was surprised I only have a 30" inside leg. It fits great, wheels are Pete Matthews onto hope titanium, groupset is old Daytona 18 speed, and the tubing is Colombus Genius. I popped it together over two days on furlough. The only thing I switched is the pedals to egg beaters. It's s fab little bike for what it cost. The saddle came off another bike I'd bought and it was a bit ripped up, so used bostick and some leather silk spray polish and it looks great.

Not a massive fan of these Nitto Randonneur bars, now I've offered them up.
Time for a spot of lunch and a re-think.

Absolute stunner! How does it ride, do you feel any significant difference between this frame design and a standard diamond one?

I know a guy over in Wigan that's an expert on these, I think he has about three, if you want to ask any questions I can hook you up.

Thanks. I haven't ridden it far yet. It feels pretty much the same as a normal diamond frame. Doesn't seem to flex much, maybe because the main tubes are massive.

Cheers. This one, being a modern one, seems pretty sorted. I used to have a vintage one that was a bit more challenging. If I get stuck on anything, I'll give you a shout.

Is there anything special about a quill stem expander bolt?
Noticed my cut down quill stem wasn't holding particularly well today, so there could be a number of reasons.

Few bikes i recently built.
Dawes(pretty rare brand in czech republic) is singlespeed with velosteel coaster brake.
Neo retro Panasonic on 11speed shimano 105 for friend of mine.. Rides surprisingly good. :)
And Peugeot Izoard PE400. Basic crmo frame, with good tire clearances so i made from it 650B conversion. Groupset is 9speed Shimano Sora, and wheels are Czech Remerx with hutchinsons 35c tires. Fork steere is extended so i could use ahead stem...

Why is it surprising the Panasonic rides well? Looks cool, my favourite of the bunch but all really nice builds!

picked up my first MTB in donkeys years (17 I think). pic is as I got it.
changed saddle (and angle) to my go to choice and took off reflectors and other things I don't need. The forks (these ones are fucked) will get changed to rigid I think but no other immediate plans other than to ride it.
I suspect a change of fork might mean a change of stem though I quite like this one. if anyone can recommend decent 1 inch threaded rigid mtb fork then I am all ears.
