Sorry I had a birthday shandy at lunch, strike anything I say today from the record.

nice new bit of wall decoration you got there Joe, you can put it next to the Roberts and the retard bike to keep them company in their non-use!

Just picked up this claud for £100, gonna be my new fixed speed.

Like the lug work, get it in a week !

Thoughts/suggestions ?

Wax it.

Maybe even t-cut it.

Yea think it will need a good clean up, wasnt sure if id been had at first bit of an impluse buy !

Fixed speed?

haha iv got the energy and the legs, still debating though, not many hills in manchester so im ok !

Cant decide whether to take my old bike to pieces and use this frame, sell the frame or all over start again

I was thinking more 'misty buff'

Nah, two shades lighter.

Modern groupset ftw.

Nowt wrong with downtube shiter though, you can get indexed one nowaday.

But modern groups are so ugly!

Yeah, keep it period Joe, what is it, 88-90?

Probably a year or two earlier, it has curved forks and the brake cable is externally routed.

Lovely - but the white brooks looks gash

A van nicholas ti post cost possibly pull it around but with the black post it def looks wrong.

Nice bike though.

Other than they are no way near as convenient/easy to use.

they suit the hipster equipment ethos though. using old out of date technology, slow, clunky, incongruous, retro looking, and acceptable to your peers.

that groupset is for me.... and no one else!

stop posting my projects Jason!

11spd Super Record throughout*... I just want hippy to hate me...

• This is a lie...
  
  

are you going to pose/walk it down the street or actually dig out the retro jersey/lycra , string back gloves and ride it?

at least with a freewheel the pedals will not hit your ankles when walking it to the pub.
