  • Some of the stuff I have, some I will acquire and some that I can dream of:

    Frame+Forks
    Koga Miyata TerraLiner from 96/7’ Older than I.

    Headset
    Obviously want a colourful threaded Chris king for rarity points but for now I will buy something cheap and shiny silver.

    Seatpost
    Had this cool 26.8 Salsa post. Also had a nice long race face post of similar era which was on the stolen bike. Luckily the salsa is just about long enough for this frame.

    Saddle
    Something brooks possibly. For now I will ride this.

    Stem
    Once I decided on length, maybe something from the 90s MTB era to match the black post. High rise as the dutch fiets and Grant Peterson have converted me.

    Bars
    I currently have albatross bars but will all order some bosco from planet x to try the out.

    Levers
    These über cool tektro CNC levers that are a poor man’s Paul Lever. Two tone is way cooler anyway.

    Grips
    These ESI have a long life left in them but maybe some Rivendell style cotton tape around the rest of the bars for instagram points.
    Brakes
    I have TRP Mini V. They work well. Who needs discs.

    Wheels
    Need silver hubs, spokes, rims. Not too fussy but want something bombproof. And I’m thinking a dynamo hub to charge my phone and camera battery when on holiday. And for a front light for the rest of the year.

    Tyres
    For rough stuff I have : G one 40mm
    For less rough study: I may order : 33.333333333333mm Jack Browns , also from Planet X.

    Crankset + BB
    I have lovely Middleburn X Superstar N/W set up currently. I like 1x and don’t think I’ll bother changing to a double or a triple. Maybe just a wider range cassette for touring. Thoughts?

    Rear Mech
    Currently using 10 speed zee which works fine but would like to use a bar end sifter with both bar options. This rules out 10 speed mtb stuff unless I buy an expensive micro shift shifter I believe. The most beautiful rear mech is obviously XTR M950 so maybe I will try this! My research tells me I can pair this with a 10 speed bar end shifter and run it 10 speed. Could somebody confirm this for me please?

    Shifter
    As above.

    Cages
    King Cages. Might add a third cage somewhere right the old Rivnut Trick, not sure though.

    Pedals
    I liked the Nukeproof Flats I was using but I’m thinking MKS Lambda or MKS Bear Traps for that nostalgic youthful feeling of bare metal scraping the skin from ones shins. But this will be a luxury I leave until the end.

    Luggage n Racks
    To be discussed. I have a small Carradice Super C but will need a little more space elsewhere on the bike.

    Mudgaurds
    If I use this for commuting I will also get some guards.

    More to follow…
    All feedback and trash talk appreciated and welcomed.

    Edit: Did I mention it has a kick stand plate ?

  • sounds like my kind of build

  • Sounds like an interesting build! Subbed

  • I agree with the other two, sounds like a good build. Been tempted to do a similar set up on my old 80s Peugeot.

  • bare metal scraping the skin from ones shins.

    oh the days of bmx / skating

  • This is gonna be very cool! Cant wait to see what you do with this...

    Gonna get some cloth bar tape and wrap those bars up??!

  • Yes exactly that, going to run ESI grips and then wrap the rest of the bars. My intention is to run a bar end shifter so I have ample room for hand positions in front of the brake levers. I found the trigger shifts root in the way slightly when riding previously.

  • I've just found a badly stored NJS Hatta Swan Headset in a drawer form my short lived track bike days. The lower bearing ring is a bit ovalised and missing a couple ball bearings but I will try and see if I have anything suitable to replace it with.

    After ordering the Bosco Bars late last night, they have already been delivered to my doorstep today. Despite being the same width as the albatross bars they look huge. These also come in a 58cm version I think. Currently have 3 shades of blue going on.

  • Lovely build+trailer. Did you also fail to fit the bagman with this sprung fizik saddle? As soon as I decide to get rid of it, ill come give you it as promised.

  • Did a very quick, impatient build yesterday

  • thanks!
    yes, I could never get the bagman on the saddle rails cos of the spring

  • Cool project! Following.

  • you've done the classic here, where your "thrown together build" looks good enough to be a done project

    next 30 pages is slowly losing your mind over cnc and import fees, i can respect that

  • Out

  • So you had Albatross? And now Bosco? I'm loving the shape and looks of Bosco and am itching to pull the trigger on a set but fear , even for me, they'll be too high

    Is your steering light?

  • Yes I swapped them out.

  • Not much update as lack of cashflow but I'll be putting this through its paces next weekend. Have been roped into a little bike packing excursion in the Yorkshire dales. The fancy cnc parts and the Japanese pedals will have to wait bit I have just purchased this fine piece of design. I don't have a front mech / shifter or a wide range cassette , so will be temporarily running an on trend 42t n/w 38t inner ring combo for the big hills. I have some panniers on the way, but if they don't arrive in time, I'll be cramming everything in a massive wald basket.

  • Lovely Koga!

    Where did you get this kickstand from? Mine has a narrow plate and the only places I can find kickstands that’ll fit are in Holland or Germany.
