It's a basket and guards short of delightful

What a cool bike that is, never seen this tubeset before. Gonna go with yellow bar tape? :P

Mavic piste hub on a BMW is not my vision of something strong enough but the matching gray frame/rims is epic !
PS: c'est ton dérailleur XTR sur le Peugeot R708

Rad!!!

Really good

Just finished this. Not sure if it's bike porn or anti porn.

Def pron! V cool

Not sure if it's bike porn or anti porn

I'm veering towards the latter. It's a Condor repro, not an actual Paris, n'est-ce pas? I wouldn't even have the bought the original considering it was £16.18/6 with no chrome when my Rotrax was only £14.19s with all the chrome 😁

It is indeed a Condor repro. Not to everyone's taste but it's fine for posing around town. I certainly had some funny looks from the carbon fibre crowd on the lanes this morning...

I like this special seattube lug

great

Just curious, do you still have that pink Orlowski? Was always one of my favorite forum bikes

No, sold it in May 2020

:(

But it is in good hands. The new owner waited years and asked me once a year and is now taking care of it

Haha okay good to hear!

Moved some bits over from my pump track bike which I can't use at the moment, to a £50 frame I got on eBay, to build something cheap and utilitarian but nice to ride.

Frame is 1650g(!) and the whole thing is around 11kg at the moment. Quite happy with the £70 8 speed Microshift drivetrain.

Planning to get some thinner, slightly lighter tyres (as nice as cornering on 2.3" semi-slicks is) and some more swept bars, to make it more suited to longer distances.

Nice use is that (front?) rack!

Nice! My first real MTB was one of those Maxlight frames. Good memories.

Parts bin commuter is done!
