Thanks for the effort. Maybe the owner will pop along :)

now that i spent more time looking to her i think you're right about the clearances.
After all it turned out ok!
I will leave "her" like that. Thanks! ;)

What stem is on this? (from page previous)

Just looks like a bianchi pista stem to me.

Nice. Love to see a frame like that brought up to date. Excellent!

Thanks, Elvis.

could you stop referring to the bike as her and she-its a bike doesnt have a gender
otherwise a very nice bike

I think she's lovely.

A few alterations to make but otherwise complete and ready to ride. Was going to be fixed but gears added for L'eroica

Started the frame transplant. Here is the start - to many frowns from the wife

Need a new seat clamp and some spacers for the rear axle before I can finish it off though.

Where does the bear go?

Hopefully not in the potty. Occasionally on the rocking horse.

A Salsa 30.0mm Liplock clamp will fit. Got one on mine and they come in lots of nice colours. Cheap second hand on eBay sometimes.

Sorry Skinny, I forgot to get back to you - the stem is from a Bianchi Pista. I got it on the forum's classifieds a few weeks back.

I got my Poyner back (a friend flew out because it was cheaper than posting from the uk, and he needed an excuse to visit!). So happy. Needs new pedals, some new bar tape, and some air in the tyres, then a bit of adjusting, and it's good to ride again.

the legend returns

Right, low chance of it I know but does anyone have a tune bottom bracket tool I could borrow? A few beers in it.

Sam, am I wrong recalling you're on Mallorca/Palma de Mallorca? You should get some gears man, bombing them hills up there.. A friend of mine works in a hotel there, got himself a Cannondale last year, full Shimano 105 (triple) from one of the big rental companies.. I believe he paid something like 350 euro's.. Peel of the rental stickers and you're good to go!

Quality.

Be careful on getting cable tension correct.

Ran mine last night and it slipped out of 65% while under load.

Had to tighten the adjuster to sort.

Hope it's not damaged.

And with that I mean he bought it from one of the big rental companies.. I am not suggesting renting one for a day under a fake name and then peel of the rental stickers to do some communist "reclaiming from the wealthy" sort of thing..

ah ok - good to know, i run pretty big gears so slipping would not be a good thing! will get spa cycles to fit it i think just to be sure - going to try and get it built tonight so that i can ride it out to york for the cycle fair at the weekend

Got this one build. Dont know still anything about the frame, stickers says 525 reynolds, fork 531.

Thanks for amazing pics John_Amunét, google ineverstoppedlooking.

Nice bicycle, that doesn't look like the UK to me though...
