Modern retro webbers

anyone know an awesome resource for retro modern road builds? have found online but looking for inspiration for 90s road frame with modern components. flame away

There's a little thread here

I've recently stripped my 70's Woodrup frame of period components and replaced it all with modern 9-speed kit. Much more useful and enjoyable to ride for me.

Someone revamped a cooper with all new kit on hear, that was ace.

ta, I found a few others also, in between falling asleep in the sun. I reckon, done with due care and attention, you can achieve some good results, on a bike that functions ummm, properly

I've always liked well-loved frames that have been updated over the years. Main sticking points clearly are 126 vs 130 rear spacing (solved by a cold set/ spring) and threaded vs threadless headsets (solved by buying a nice new carbon road fork).

yeah the fork replament junction is tricky, depends he nice the orig forks are, and whether the new stem ruins he build

There's been a number of builds in the current projects thread I think .. Just a case of finding them. Also look at http://www.fyxomatosis.com/index.php/gallery-of-bicycle-builds/bicycles as Shifter Bikes have done a few nice ones too

Here is Phil's Cooper. My favourite old bike with new bits.

very nice, it works

Here is another forumites
