Current Projects chat and miscellany

it's a heavy town bike, just sort it out and ride it as it is as it's practical enough already, the handling will be too 'relaxed' if you build it up as a fixie skidder.

you're better off buying a 700c road frame and start from there.

Mine (1971) is the Campagnolo NR (twin bolt).

I questionned SINGLE bolt...
I think those are from late 1970-s earliest. Can be wrong though.

pretty much finished the Pinarello, when i got it, it had been in a basement for years all covered in dust and rust all over the chromed parts, some elbowgrease cleared it all up

Lovely.

Nice! What size rings are one the chainset? Looks small...

they are kinda small 48-39,i have some more chainrings may change them later to some bigger ones

Very nice clean build! What is that frame?

It's a custom built Columbus frame, made a by a private frame builder, named Nico Regter.
He has built a couple of custom frames ("Reco" brand) in NL. Later he moved to Ireland and built apprx. 100 frames over there.
Reco/Regter are quite well known around Apeldoorn, city of my home track, venue of 2011 World Championships track racing. Home town of Leon van Bon, Willy Kanis, Agnes Ronner (both girls have moved there) and Teun Mulder living very nearby.

This particular frame was built for former junior/amateur ace Aart van de Kruisweg and later bought over by Peter van Ommen. Both have won Dutch National Championships on it. I'll never repete that... Hope my son or daughter will do that within 10 or 20 years.

Some seriously good work going down at the moment, some of the builds recently are magnificent

Yep, this thread seems to be merging into bike porn lately, bit dubious about putting my new build up til it's tarted up a bit

Some lovely builds
Very jealous.

I might have to lower the tone with my Saracen shopping bike :-)

I know you did, I just mentioned that the 'right' period seatpost should be the NR, at least on my frame.

Amazing DC, really well done. I've got the same Crank/Chainring, is yours 3/32"?

Seller said - Beautiful[SIZE=5] [/SIZE]Belgian built classic road race frame, it was built and has been in storage until now, it has never seen paint, it boasts Campagnolo ends to the rear and fork ends. The rear end is 126mm top tube ctc 54cm seat tube ctt 54cm. Nice lugwork throughout. A very nice frame with the opportunity to style it in your own way from scratch.

It had something engraved into the fork crowns, if you check the initials on classic rendevous, or a similar site you may find the builder.

looks a decent frame.

Hey Fruit, got it off marktplaats?

Not a great pic, but first shot of now built up No Name frame.

is that the frame with no name?
must be some history behind it surely?

nice build but sort out the seat angle.

It used to be this guy's bike:

Yes, currently riding 3/32", but I have 1/8" rings as well.
