found this old batavus race frame in dumpster today... the frame is way to big for me, maybe gonna try to sell it (make build than sell it) ? bigger resolution: http://foundbikes.posterous.com/batavus-course-for-saleThat looks quite nice, let me know if your getting rid of it.

I think this is the most appropriate thread to ask this question as I am just planning a new project. Is mixing new and old a likely way to end up in anti-porn. I am thinking a white Steve Goff 753 frame, but with an aheadset, and carbon bars and stem, carbon seatpin, modern saddle, campag pista chainset and wheels. In my mind it looks beautiful but I am also thinking it could be a huge fail?

Don't be a slave to anyone else's opinions. Trust your own imagination, otherwise it's zero fun, and it should always be fun.

Oh yeah, I've got a road bike too now! Cannondale Team Comp '87.
Groupset is a mixture of Shimano 600 tricolor/Ultegra & Shimano 105.
It's even got Biopace chainrings!Changes in near future:
Black hoods.
Bolt on skewers instead of QR.
Swap the 105 headset for the Chris King on the track bike.
Swap out the crank bolts & dustcaps for 8mm jobbies (got em in my pocket)
Clean up rusty bolts.Changes in not so near future:
Full DA 7400 group.
STI shifters.
Carbon fork/Ahead stem (got the converter for my CK headset)I seriously love this bike. Special thanks to Pistoffski for nabbing it off eBay.
love it! v nice colour too

Hey all, new on here, but thought I might throw up a picture of my latest bike just to test the water! It's a mid 80's Peugeot which i bought for £20 in a fine state off ebay for a daft MTB challenge. Got me around Llandegla MTB blue course with gears and now it's resprayed courtesy of Halfords and fixed. Plus I wanted to test whether I could post a pic, so here go's!
well done, balanced looks!
respray @ halfords??

Still waiting for tyres, and just discovered the chainstays are a bit longer then the Koga so now I need to order a chain
-
I always bin them, I'm not a great believer in riveting chains, since they are cheap whereas having a rejoined link pop under the colossal stress of my starting efforts could be expensive.
-
On a track chain, either a screw link or a spring clip. Either way, the pin which is at the join is secured against pulling out of the plate by something more than just friction. If you re-use a rivet you've already pushed out once, at least one end of it will be a pure cylinder, no mushroom or cross peen to secure it.
-
Now that my Ellipse wheels are going to be living out their days spared from the vagaries of the English weather, they're being refurbished with these SKF E2 low friction bearings. In the "accumulation of small gains" game, these could be worth 0.01s in a flying 200 over the standard no-brand 6001-2RS bearings, or about 15cm. Most of that is down to using non-contact shields rather than rubber seals. There's potentially a couple of seconds in a 25 mile TT to be had from using these in my HED3 too.

Morning folks, over the week I've mysteriously bent the alloy forks on my cyclocross-turned-tourercommuter so am now in need of somehthing new, and preferably burley.
Criteria are 1 in steerer and cantilever bosses. I'm looking at the surly crosscheck forks at the moment, any other suggestions? Churrs
-
I doubt that there's much else out there in 1". SJSC have this cheap unicrown fork which is half the price of the Surly, should be strong enough if you can live without the elegance.
