Very true. Just out of interest, can you get a fixed free bolt on?

you what son?
you're only option here is SS disc compatible rear hub.
Then you have an SS side so Free, and bolt on fixed.
otherwise you're gonna have to build it yourself.

Do you mean a flip flop hub?

If so, thats kind of what you get by default by using a SS mountain bike hub with an ISO rotor mount on the other side.

I'll be running this fixed until I can afford the rear disc brake, then I'll go SS and only change back to fixed occasionally.

funny, man, thats exactly what I'm doing!
waiting till i can afford that rear hub....

Sorry, of course you can. What a dippy moment that was!

I've been getting about on this:

Crap pedals replaced at weekend but tape still grubby.
Well impressed by all the recent DIY machines I hope this becomes a theme.

This build is taking ages.

Still needs:
Black Stem
Matching Rims (Have my eyes on some black cxps)
Decent crank set
Decent Cassette
Decent Mech
Pedals
Shifters - can't decide on down tubes or bar ends, bar ends is currently winning but need aero bars (that fit, the cinellis on the table don't seem want to stay in place...)
A chain...

Nice frame Doktorspoor, any idea what it is?

aende

yep

hey all, everyone seems to done a great job on their bikes i'm looking to buy a frame in january and make something of it just wondering if anyone had any tips that they may have to make the process a little more understandable for a complete novice!

much appreciated.

Advice: .....,,,,,,

Hi I don't know but if Mr Crane says Aende I'll go with it.
It has a beautiful paint job with script for one Luc van Acker (Belgian?) and a shop in Ostend on non drive side? Frame is numbered and it has shimano dropouts.
Bought it a year ago from Jos (TdeV) and I love it.
Any other info from the Crane?

hmm i thought it was the one Rik used to have

more aende info on the thread

Duh, you mean the lo-pro which is very nice it must be said.
Sorry I got no clue.

oooooooooh shit nvm i just clocked that i was answer the wrong question

my mistake

Ha, wouldn't worry about it Mr Crane, I am probably better off knocking bits of wood about with my hammer and rather than confusing myself with the digital age.
: )

Rik's old one, my new(ish) one, back to gears for this puppy.

Downtube shifters. Definitely.

Downtube shifters. Definitely.

Why tho?
The brazes still have the original paint looks, no sign of shifters being on them, see other photos in flick..I think it was built for bar ends...

Because I don't like bar end shifters, I have downtube shifters on my lo pro and it feels right shifting there.

It's only my opinion but that's what I reckon.

that sounds like

"I cant go back on what I said/admit im wrong so I will make up some poor excuse and keep my head up"

Good to see that the Roberto Bicycletas sticker is still on the fork of the Aende! Will look awesome once your done - glad that its getting geared up - exactly why i didnt do any surgery on it.
