So good!

Meh...6 and 2 3's. Fairing might not be structural but still part of rim etc

Loving the Hetchins. Vintage-Rad is very niche.

Full bike shot for @blacklisted, taken shortly before swapping the Cateye senser to the other fork as suggested by @tallsam.

Alright, I believe you!!

Nice bikes dude ;) Which one is your favorite?

That saddle is quite the common denominator.

Gross upgrade on my road bike, now with campa athena.

Dibs! ;-)

Nice Supernaut.

Looks so nice

Put a silly cockpit on my beater for Shits and giggles, enjoy brklz but my knees start to complain after a week or so.

Good luck! Actually, I haven't written my will yet, which is your only hope. Are you any good at cleaning guttering? ;)

Finished! more pictures here: http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/265684/?offset=75#comment12251564

That's long!

It's pretty long but not uncomfortably so. The small wheels make it look abit strange.

Like what I'm seeing here fam. Full drive side shot?

Have since replaced the pedals with some plain alu V8s

Toeverlap is an issue.

Oh, but it looks good!

Classic build there fella.....kind of reminds me of that 'exploded mercian' bike, a forumengers, if I recall?
Anyway....nice looking thing

It's a lovely bike to ride, it started off as a runabout with cheap parts as below... As is the way though can't seem to resist replacing bits with nicer bits. After having a sweaty back and a wet arse a few times I decided to fit the rack and guards.

@PhilPub what speed is that groupo and rear spacing? Always admired your build

@mdcc_tester wonder if you would help. frames with italian thread require bottom brackets with 70mm shell width but will it make any difference if i get a bb with 68mm shell width? plus, is it true that Shimano bottom bracket like this one has italian thread made in a slightly different way and therefore it may not always fit? could this also be true for french bb maker like Stronglight?

Cheers. It's SRAM Force 2010, 10-speed. I had the stays re-spaced from 126(?) to 130 when I had the frame re-painted three years ago.

thats a good one, hope you find the matching fork.

was riding the Alan yesterday in the Kent countryside and the nds campag victory crank arm got loose, so had to walk quite a bit up hill and pedal with one leg on the flats and downs, hope the crank arm hole is not worn from the square tapered axle
