“straight blade alpina track forks”

well, look who’s talkin’... :D

Ha, credit given!

Did some holiday bike shop visits in Barca last weekend, one of the staff in My Beautiful Parking had this setup and it looked so good with the polished frame.

i know! they look good! i was trying to get jono to get an alpina for his build but i couldn’t convince him back then.. :)

Removed decals, mudguards, saddle bag - need a frame pump and it's properly ready for winter.

Thanks again for the rims!

Well seen ! And thank you

Favorite forum bike at the moment. Those seat stays. Delicious. (black chainring pls)

Stunner! The internal routing is lovely, makes it look so clean.

black kronos levers and a nice classic slr saddle.. i know it wouldn't be period correct but the turbo just looks so bulky on this bike..

Orions are functionally equivalent (I leave it to the reader to decide whether that's a good thing) and complement the ghost-bike theme nicely.

Bought an Omnium New Skool frameset and shifted parts from another bike.

If anyone is considering buying this frameset, there may be issues with crankset clearance. The Miche Primato Advanced spider hit the chainstay with the recommended 107mm bottom bracket (the 48t chainring also hit the chainstay). I had to use a 113mm bottom bracket in order to get a couple of millimetre clearance. This means the chainline is out by about 3mm, so it is a little noisy. It is a new chain, so hoping it might quieten down after a while. Otherwise I will need the wheel redished.

I was also only just able to fit the 45mm Velo Orange front mudguard in the fork (I had to slightly squish it to get it in there). This meant I could only fit a 35mm tyre (a 38mm would not fit) so I highly doubt one could get a 40mm tyre and mudguards in there as Omnium claim on their website (although elsewhere I have seen them say 37mm).

Are you using a 1/8 or 3/32 drive train?

Also what chain?
