VMB Vintage Modern Bicycles, Postmodern (classic style) and Custom parts (drillium, WW, replica...)

That's rather swish. Shame it lacks a single-pivot rear brake

; )

When dual-pivots became a thing, I was so keen to get one on the front. Was a right pauper at the time, so had to wait until I could scrounge one from the random parts bin at my LBS...

First emergency stop, I went straight over the bars, and was totally stoked about it. Next emergency stop saw my back wheel in the air for a few metres as I balanced the bike around the head tube. Fuck yeah, finally enough front brake.

Never thought I needed more rear brake once my kit exceeded like RX100 (Tiagra-ish) spec; was puzzled why I was the only one I knew of with DP/SP until Campy finally agreed with me and made it an option. Especially since too much brake hurts modulation...

A nice fastback seat cluster like on that powder blue thing would look sleeker with a single-pivot, for sure. And if monostay, it should be regarded as compulsory.

^ that is superb, thank you ! Although the inner cable routing worries me a little. Do you please have some more pics of this machine - I hope it holds more treasures.

oh this is amazing and sorts some things out in my plan for the speedvagen. Do you have the original flickr link? thanks very much

My men Chukette ; )

Magnificent! And that must be the earliest chain catcher on the planet.

Frame built by the brilliant Vanni Losa.
BB cutouts are his hallmark.

Weighing shallow polished rim options for a town bike: Kinlin, TB14 (rather not), VO (also rather not). Anything I'm missing?

Ambrosio P20 also come in Silver, as do DCR rims

Looks like campa did it. How much did you shave off?

Ooh thanks. Checking them out.

It's just @ArthurDent bike parts ; )

Original Campy stuff indeed but great for an upcoming vmb build ;)

@Gaston not sure where to put this but I thought you'd like it:

Struggling to figure out the point, tho
