Current Projects chat and miscellany

A summery of my recent project.

The girlfriend surprised me with this for my birthday.

Was built up with whatever i had in the parts bin/whatever i could pick up cheap (I have no money lol)

Brief spec:
Unknown frame/forks ( about 90% sure it is a Gitane)
Front wheel: Normandy Hub/ Mavic rim. (Landed in Paris to start a cycling holiday with my mates and i had forgotten to put my front wheel in my bike box. We found a bike repair shop and i got this for 17Euro complete with wing nuts)
Rear wheel: Cheap ebay that looked most like the front wheel.
Headset: Campagnolo Veloce.
Chainset: On One External bb track chainset.
Seatpost: Cheap Ebay.
Stem: Cinelli
Bars: Cinelli criterium

First up to be swapped out is the BMX halflink chain, I just had it to hand when building.
Total spend was about £190 and I am really pleased with how it turned out.

You got a very cool gf!

looks exactly like a Gitane to me
