Nigel Dean Build

Posted on
  • So after a number of years as a bystander on this forum i have decided to put up my first half decent build or one that i've actually put some thought into.

    Picked up this snazzy pants Nigel Dean frame from the Classifieds a few weeks back.

    The plan is to have this as a commuter S/S for the summer and then change it to geared setup during the winter.

    Expecting a delivery of parts today to continue the build.

    Thoughts comments welcome.

  • Stronglight 49T crankset and BB has arrived.

  • Wheelset arrived a few days ago from VSprint.

  • lovely paintjob.

  • Looking forward to seeing how this one ends up ;)

  • So i finally got round to building the bike up and taking her for a spin today.

    Granted the saddle looks shite and plans are to change for a brooks or similar, seat post will also be changed. As for the pedals i'm waiting for some cleat adapters for my road shoes.

    The yellow 80's glare was a bit too much for my camera.

  • Nice! Love the paint job.
    Is the rear rim on that wheel-set deeper than the front one?

  • Yes the rear is a 40mm and the front is 30mm.
