Whoa

This one too...

And these, once I've finished the three above ;)

Gosh... Sounds like you've got some nice work there!

So what are you doing with them?

jizzing all over them for the time being :)

nuff said ay?

are you building up or renovating frames?

Mainly stripping (done that already obviously), cleaning (doing that now), completing the mismatched groupsets, building back up, new cables/pads/tape/saddles etc and photographing.

From the 3 frames I have now a complete DA which will go on the Vitus and a complete Record that will go on the red Master Olympic. the yellow Colnago will probably get Chorus.

Not sure about the other two, Celo is actually a Colnago essentially, so maybe Chorus. I'm afraid the Decor might need a repair. Hopefully not.

Basically whatever he wants, I just get to touch them :D

it's all about the touching imo,
good work fella!

Apollo have rep for just doing something awesome.

wow how did you end up in this terrible situation apollo it sounds horrible

He's a Greek that work(ed)s in the finance sector, do the math....

... it's because he didn't do the math he's now touching up pretty bikes ...

What's math?

It's like maths, but shitter.

I've been watching too many American films recently...

Built myself a single speed CX bike from an old Raleigh hybrid. I'll post the spec if anyone's interested.....

As it looks now

Good job! Always wondered whether all those old late-90s hybrids would make it out onto cyclocross courses...

Awesome, hybrid/cx mashup bikes always look like a ton of fun, don't think you will have issues with clearance. Also is that a wi freewheel on it?

that vitus....

Well it's yet to make it onto an actual CX 'course' but I'll let you know if I enter a race with it. As it stands I'll be mainly using it as a winter training tool...

Yea it's a WI freewheel that I got off a friend along with the wheels for nothing! The guys a legend. He said I was doing him a favour as his shed was full of old 'junk'.....

Probably worth more than the frame!

Wah... that's a keeper. Put a ring on it, have it's babies.

It is ridiculously nice.

Colnago Presica chrome fork?
Carbon 11sp?

...actually any respectful build and it'll shine.
