Current Projects chat and miscellany

Was offered this today will replace my Claud Butler :)

As it was resprayed and badged up "no name" by Cyclone Cycles, last owner doesn't know what frame it was originally... wondering if the nice lugs / serial number could offer any clues?

@Olly398
well, coloured rims wont work well with that frame colour, light colour might work but itll look to OTP, so that leaves white, chrome, gold and black.
white'll look shit on that frame. because its the frame glitter maroon brown ffs
gold could work, but it may make it look a bit earthy (in terms of the colour scheme)
the frame is too dark for black, and it wont compliment the frame properly.
so after all that you have chrome/polish, which, work perfectly, in my head anyway.
that frame just wont work any other way imo

I saw this through the window of a friends house & was thinking of offering the neighbors a few quid so I could do a build for the girlfriend. Any idea what it is, or even if it's worth doing? Couldn't quite work out the name...

Love the rear mudguard:* under *the wheel.

Go for it, look like it'll only take a few elbow grease to get it right as rain, should be a fun little beater.

Yeah, firstly a removal of the rear ski/mudguard, the addition of a mustache bar & brooks saddle to make it look a little like this. nice little runaround.

edit: not my build, although I do like it:

It will take a lot of elbow grease, but its a quirky looking frame, so I'd go for it. Dismantle - clean/remove rust - regrease.

Could always get the frame powder coated and do a complete rebuild the match the one in the pic.

Depends on how much time/money you want to spend and the condition of the frame and wheels I suppose.

I think the build would be the least of my troubles. Convincing the girlfriend that she really does want to ride*... now that's a challenge!

frame looks nice, if its in good condition go for it

If that's what I think it is, I'm very jealous.

haha

Sorry I should have been more specific. I couldn't give two hoots about his colour scheme. I was curious as to where your chrome rim is going to come from.

Ha! You buying bikes off Max now Mr. Zone?

Original Ciocc Mockba 80 road bike with panto'd Super Record.

Virtually unchanged since being built and raced many years ago.

Not sure yet if anything will be updated.

That's so nice. Don't change anything.

Maybe pop a chain on there perhaps?

Nah leave it, chains just get everything dirty...

Nice work Dwayne, can't wait to see Max's grail.

That's shit Dwayne, needs an aerospoke

that's lovely Dwez

Needs risers, looks "too down" at the front

Dibs!
