Tar aside it looks nice. The bars look tiny though, how wide are your hands?

wide enough

dont know i guess maybe i have small hands, there about an inch or so bar left once my hands are in a comfortable position, so its not a problem.

I actually like the paint job. White grips make baby jesus cry.

Wash your dirty mitts every now and then and you can ride with white ones too! :-P

Saw a bloke riding with white gloves on borough high st this morning, then mysteriously got billie jean stuck in my head.

:-) I'm going to ride with one. With diamantes.

My humble steed. Gorgeous baby blue and all. Thinking of stripping it back to the bone and giving it a clear coat.

... and white bar tape.

What frame is that?

If you can call it white now.

It's an 80's Raleigh/Pug.. not I.D'd it yet.

BoBoB if it was me I'd change the saddle for a flite and take off all the stickers

I'd also do the batman tune on the way to work

my latest build, just need to sort out a saddle thats befitting the frame and put the brake on when it arrives, I also have some TA NOS cyclotouriste cranks to fit to it but I can't make up my mind wether to or not????????????

Looking good!

If the crank is fine and it work perfectly well, just leave it mate.

Finished this morning - my sunday bike which still needs few adjustments (and new thinner brake cables, as the guides on the top frame are too narrow and I had to cut the cable shield at some point).
Flip-flop hub, Weinmann rims for now (paid £85!), but I have Campagnolo Record Pista 36h hubs, so probably will change the rimms to some NOS silver wheels for tubulars and more suitable tires. New pedals on their way too (this one's were gift from Snoops).

No kittens were harmed during the build.
Now, rip it to shreds, please.

white tyres are shite.

I'm almost 40 and if I want to have white tyres - I have them. It's a Sunday bike for the church and thing :-)

My geared commuter - a 1991 Cannondale ST600 tourer. Now just about finished after what was intended to be an evening cleaning session turned into a 3-month overhaul involving hacksaws, blood and swearing.

Gorgeous Baby Blue isn't really the colour du jour in Cambridge any more, but we're all hoping that will blow over soon. A Carradice Nelson and a battered old B17 mean there are some 'corners' of this foreign 'field' that are forever England.

Good'un. Bet it's well comfy for long rides.

Picked up my wheels this afternoon, woo!

Can finally see what it's going to look like

Nice shiney Campy. Now go to the shop and buy some brasso!

Nice rims. What are they?

Campagnolo Atlanta

yeah Campagnolo Atlanta. They're virtually unused, just a bit dirty and a few storage marks, perfectly smooth and true, gonna polish up well nice! I didn't really like deep rims till i saw these. Surprisingly light too

Just need to save up for some campy track hubs now, d'oh

I've got a brand new ones, but 36h (Record Pista and Veloce front)

tiny is good, im a midget :)

Oh... ruh.. eally?
