"Road bike" for girlfriend

Yes it is, spoke to the guy over the phone and I even have a little choice in colours. All I have to do is make the frame paint ready which will take some time.

Also tommorrow post will bring me my b17s saddle so then I'll have all the parts ready.

Could you send me the email address of that restorer? I was also thinking of having my frame painted.

Damn, 25E, good deal on that one!

Got the last package in the post today:

Here it is next to the Fizik bartape,
Much cheaper and a good match in my opinion.

Frame is going to the coater next week saturday, so hopefully this will be ready in 2 weeks.

It's ready now, I like the result a lot. And so does she. Frame has been painted in deep blue. I believe one of Mini's standard colours (painter was a Mini restorer). Put the bike together with the parts above, only had some problems with the front merch, as it just didn't want to go on the outer ring.. really weird, tried it with a shimano 300ex, 400ex and 105, they all didn't reach far enough. Then found a really old huret in my partsbin and this one did the job just fine.

RSX levers acted weird, so replaced them for some sora's.

Here is the pic my girlfriend uploaded on here FB:

Don't have any more pictures.
Only the stem will be changed as this one is too long, allready found a 60mm, so this will go on as soon as possible.

For the rest this one is finished with a total budget of 140 euro's.

Wow, turned out nice Jan! Paint job included!
Did the guy paint the holes in the headtubelugs white or am i seeing that wrong?

Lovely! I'd be well happy with that. :)

Thanks guys,
My girl did that, cause my own concorde has it ;d.
The painter did an okay job for 25 euro's. I had to prepair the fram myself and I was a bit sloppy haha.

Wow. That looks fantastic. Well done, especially with that budget.

Thx very much :)

On this pic you can see the colour a bit better. It's the only one I've got, as the bike now stands at her place.

For the eagle eyed people; bottle cage has been changed, my picture is older.

Nice looking bike!
