Truly stunning! Missing some dust caps on the pedals or is that oldschool weeniesm for indoor-only track bikes?

Running a Titanium seatpost on the Gazelle now. Reconsidering the handlebars and it does need a a new tape job (synthetic cork is hard to keep tidy).

Thanks and both my captain : )

Sooo wild. Is that a 3/32" chain ring?

Yes it is. Took a while to find a modern 144 BCD one.

Crazy good

Columbus NEMO?

So bloody good!

That paint !!

It’s really starting to grow on me.

Phwoarr!

How well do those long-drop calipers work?

The bars are 3ttt but the markings have worn off, I believe these are a Merckx bend though. Stem is from Scapin.

How well do those long-drop calipers work?

Not great, not terrible. Better than cantis, but not as good as V-brakes.

I built a dad bike. Frame/wheels off here, a bunch of bits I had sitting around unused plus a couple of new components. Have done a quick shake-down ride and found that the stem is too short for me so will be swapping that out. Would like to fit mudguards and a front rack at some point.

Fancy!

This really does look excellent. How does it ride on the new wheel size?

Thanks. It definitely feels zippier. These wheels are quite a bit lighter than my 26" wheels, the tyres are set up tubeless now, and they're narrower than before. So a lot has changed. Overall I'm very happy with it.

how good is this. amazing work.
