Finally finished my Basso conversion.
Sweet bike, nice frame.
Agree about the white grips, tyre etc. Black would look better, plus more practical.
But thats just personal preference i guess.
Lovely bike though

Cheers, I love the frame, top eBay find, only prob was the bb shell was stripped so needed repair so I decided to treat myself to a respray at the same time, I love the frame Columbus multi shape, every tube is a different shape looks beautiful.

re. that cannondale, there's a bike I see every day locked at work blue frame with identical dropouts and graphics but it's 650c and looks really odd. Have you chucked wheels on it?
Yeah i have seen i guy riding one of these frames and it had 650's on
is bright red
he regularly locks up at Clissold Lesuire centre -

The white lug lining looks super nice, what stem/bars are those?
Thought maybe cinelli 1a + shimmed b123, but couldn't see any logos in the pics. -

Ha saw these in Urban Outfitters of all places for £5 (Hipster Tax and all that)
they were next to the Fish Eyes Lenses, Hipster Plaid Shirts and 'Cool' 'Vintage' Records (The Smiths, Joy Division etc.) haha

Jeez, since when have The Smiths been vintage? I feel old.
Hawkins Bazaar have these horns cheaper, not sure if it's a chain though or just a Norwich phenomenon.

Yeh notice how i put cool and vintage in quote marks, urban outfitters is that kinda shop that puts everything which is supposedly 'cool' and 'vintage' in one shop haha its pretty cringeworthy if im honest and im young. They'll probably be selling Unipak Fixie Skidders soon.
What bike you gonna put that on anyway?

Probably my hybrid. I use it to get to work and people in the office already think I'm crazy for not owning a car - may as well weird the bike up a bit more.
