Compaq all in one running Windows 95

No fair comment, there's a towel and change of clothes in there too. Office has lockers for people to store stuff, but they get cleared our every Friday which is frig all use if you are there one day a week sadly, so in it goes

Took this guy to the track tonight for the first time in 6/7 years (whenever that LFGSS club session was)

Bike is spot on, love it!

Lovely bike<3

Spotted you on route I think. Bike looks great.

I remember that bike hanging by the saddle in your stairwell. Not with clipless pedals though!

Were you on a white Dolan?

I think you'd approve of the clipless pedals though, they're Mavic, Look Delta compatible

Oh they're fine. Did you have to re-thread the cranks though?IIRC they were French -threaded?

You are correct, I had the cranks re threaded at Putney cycles, but long before going clipless though.

So nice. What size is the frame
If you don’t mind me asking?

My trained eye says 62c-t

<3

@kjlem eyes are correct, 62c-t and 60 ctc TT.

Bought this because I couldn't resist the terrible match of purple and red.
Plan is to build it up mostly with stuff from my parts bin.
I want to build it up single speed, what is the least ugly chaintensioner out there?
For the brakes I'm thinking about SRAM s500 levers with mini v's or canti's. Or should I go for Tektro rl520 with normal v-brakes?
Any advise would be nice:)

A derailleur 😁

WI one hub or get in the sea

Just kidding. Yeah WI would definitely be the neatest.

Would look rad with SRAM red 10s tho

Agreed

Not sure about looks, but considering what people are asking for chain tensioners I'd be inclined to buy an RD-M310

Or should I go for Tektro rl520 with normal v-brakes?

Only if you love the 1970s style hood shape. Better to get SRAM if you already like the hood shape and one of the Shimano 90mm V brakes (BR-R353, BR-R463 or BR-R573)

Would one of the eccentric bottom bracket converters work with the frame? Would look way cleaner than a tensioner

Marin Bear Valley SE for my girl. Tripple butted steel frame with basic deore 1x10 group, avid single digit 7 brakes and fancy specialized bars. Super fun to ride.
