  • Ive went and bought another bike!! well being at my mums for xmas with nothing to do but drink tennents and eat i decided to take a look in the local rag and see what was on offer...

    And scanning the bold text my little eyes pick out "gents road bike" £60 ..magic!

    So after a few days of stripping, cleaning, new chain and putting a decent wheel set on heres what I now have for my ride when im in Scotland :D

  • it looks good......maybe invest in a new camera next time.

  • sounds like it's too late mate for anyone to stop you :-P

    Looks good though, what's the frame?

  • cant.. spent all my money on a new wheel set :/

  • slamm sounds like it's too late mate for anyone to stop you :-P

    Looks good though, what's the frame?

    Its a French made MBK Mistral, from what I read the company used to be Motobecane but renamed to be down with the kids.

  • Who makes the wheels and how much did they cost?

    Coming to your house soon to steal some films.

  • Looks hot, love the fork rake. Is it a road bike conversion? I can't tell if it's got track ends from that shit house pic you posted up.;] I've got a few nitto jagz from my last trip to Japan still if you want. 110 or 100 (threaded headsets FTW). Anyway Happy New Year matey.

    Cheers, aye its a road conversion, everyone thinks its a photo.. its a drawing! it took me ages ..even added a flash reflection to make it seem like a low quality digital photo ..good eh? Right im off to get PISHED! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

  • realise this thread is old but I have just got hold of a mistral frame myself for restore. Problem is there is no seatpost, anyone know what the correct diameter should be??
    Cheers.

  • find some calipers to borrow, if its anything like other mass produced bikes it depend on what the makers could get for cheapest that day.

  • I've some verniers that you can borrow if you are in London?

  • go to maplin and purchase som digital verniers, best bike tool i have, well one if them
