Thought I would post these up in here V. Quiet in birmingham forum!
My first conversion! Now gone to be converted back to geared by its original owner!!
I sold him the frame back to purchase this OLMO From sprockets any Info on this bike warmly appreciated I know nothing of it or its history bought as a single speed frame has no braze ons.
Currently being stripped for a repaint and alloy polish session!!
Frame is being repainted by Mercian in Derby... A bit excessive maybe for a bike that I have no I dea of the value of... I f it has any at all but I bloody love riding it!! Its a keeper!
This is my girlfriends Kalkhoff I rescued lovely old shopping bike and saved me having to repaint her last bike Green!
My daily Commuter! Yes she has gears but to be frank all I have done over the winter is squirt oil at them and no problems thus far despite the much mallingned Helicomatic rear hub!
And finally my latest little project I picked up this old Dawes frame for next to nothing on evil Bay Hop to make a nice little cruiser... Think Moustach bars and Whitewalls!!
Currently at the powder coaters being painted black... My Guvnor Replica!!
Does any one know what size seat post would fit the Dawes... I tried my 26,8 but its a touch to big?
Im also after a nice low geared front cottered chainset as I plan to cruise this baby with no brakes.
Cheers.
Stu!
My klunkers!
