Klein-style fades would be "authentic" for an Olmo of that Age:


But you can't go wrong with the fat scheme either.

That's beautiful, @Sig_Arlecchino!

^^ That is HOT!

Just finished putting the last bits of this puzzle together. Thanks to @Po for the tip off on the frame in the ebay links thread!

This is splendid

Super nice

Looks great man! Dare you to take those wheels on a HDITP ride...

New drive train on my worker, ultegra 10s shifters with xt 9s rd and zayante cranks, perfect combo IMHO.

Nice! Got the same on my commuter. Did you gut the left-hand shifter?

Perfectly judged

Haha they seem OK in the dry so far but not sure the Peaks is a wise move...

Not yet and it doesn't bother me as I thought it would.

Nice! And similar to mine also classic mtb, custom Fredy Ruegg Max OR tubes. I'm converting it to 650b adventure bike with cantilevers and rigid steel fork. I hope to finish it in two weeks.

If it's still functioning, I wouldn't sacrifice it either. I had a broken left-hand 105 shifter and gutted it. Surprisingly, the flappy lever doesn't bother me with this set-up.
The Freddy looks like an interesting project and deserves a cp thread ;)

What canti-brakes are you gonna mount, @stromo?

Old school deore mt 62 in black with 1x10 rd m592 and xt instant relase m780 shifters, cant wait for the fork that is in production.
@Sig_Arlecchino if i only could find some time for updates, but thanks for kind words.

Ed: picture is old, on 700c wheels, only one i have ATM

Does it work, old canti's and 650b?

Why not, if they work on cx. Oldie goldie kind of thing, brake pads quality is important.

google alex singer

I think Wims question was more about pad position - is there enough room to push the pads up enough to work on 650b rims? (difference in radius between 26" and 650b is ~12mm). Or are you repositioning the canti studs?

That's what I meant, indeed. Thanks, @slothy

Yup, done that, rebrazed to 650.
@slothy

ah

That was my guess.

Never had much love for this bike for some reason but after it having been hanging up for a year unloved, I’ve serviced it and played with the position and it’s just made me grin like a loon after months of only using my heavy steel commuter.
