  • Hey Guys,
    Ok so i managed to scoop up that barron frame for £170, good deal?
    Now i need to know what to stick on it!? im thinking:

    Zenith hubs laced to open sport/pro rims or velocity deep vs (whats best i have very potholey roads)

    Cinelli drops (38cm) and Stem

    Campag/shimano seatpost

    Rolls Saddle

    BB and Headset (already with it) might change headset to campag record

    Campag strada 165mm cranks (if i can find some) or Seguinos

    Shimano SPD pedals/Campy pista pedals (already got)

    KMC chain

    Dura Ace cog

    Some chain ring (any ideas?)

  • Some chain ring (any ideas?)

    How about a Seguino?

    /evil

  • yeh il probably go with that!

  • Hubs laced to Open Pros by a proper wheelbuilder will be plenty strong enough, and lighter than Deep Vs. Deep Vs look good but are considerably heavier, though do a nice range of colours.

  • Nice one, I was going to try for it, wallet didnt allow.
    A nice frame indeed.

  • Thanks Stein,
    @manc ronnie - i was thinking of building them myself at a vintage bicycle restoration place with the help of a kind mechanic, plus im going to do some volunteer work so hopefully i can get some free wheel building help and use of a good truing stand :)

  • open pro rims! or polished rigida dp18s if you can't resist the deep section...

  • Or wait a couple of days, as I'll be selling some polished DP 18 x ambrosios, some FIR deep section x on one (black), and some Gran compe x Campag Omega 19 (box section black)....
    I built the GC x Omega 18s already, look noice!
    just a suggestion......

  • ^ sorry about the blatant opportunism.
    I feel like a dick, but I've decided which are going ( except maybe the FIRs as they are going to be 4 cross).
    And I'll give as good a price as I can.

  • I feel like a dick
    Dont! how much you thinking i might be interested, i dont have any cash at the moment might have to 'borrow' some from my parents! im sure they wont mind il be skint for ages then! hehe

  • Pop down to Tour De Ville mate, they have lots of tasty rims, mostly NOS.

  • i think i might be buying a pair of eyebrows instead, plus im not in london :(

  • *off, grammar is very important, mind i do quite like the look of those eyebrows fiddy dorrah?

  • i was bidding against you.... sorry

  • nice frame.
    what size is it?

  • er 58cm seat tube and 56 cm top tube if i remember correctly

  • @waterford lol oh well!

  • (any ideas?)

    Build it up, ride the b'jesus out of it, then ghosty it off a cliff.

  • i agree with andy
    ride it like you stole it

  • Zenith hubs laced to open sport/pro rims or velocity deep vs (whats best i have very potholey roads)

    I believe the consensus is that deeper sections will be harder to destroy, but give a slightly harsher ride (and have more rotating weight, which is a Bad Thing). At the speeds most people ride the aerodynamic advantages of a deeper rim are pretty much moot, too. 36 spokes and a really good build are probably the key factors in pothole survival.

  • very nice

  • thanks for the posts guys :D much appreciated i shall ride *her *like i stole *her *hehe

  • that looks like a nice frame, looking forward to seeing it in current projects/bikes to faces ;-)

  • :D hehe im skint at the moment so it may take a while, being in high school funding expensive bike projects sucks . . .
