Steel slave project

Decided to start my first proper thred for proper build.
So let's begin with propably most basic slave cockpit

Next contact point - saddle. What choice other than old trusty flite?

Since this bike is not going to be everyday beater, I went crazy with hubs

But what about the frame? Propably @IR will recognize it immediately as he owns its bigger brother.


Chainring and tires are on their way, so is crankset and rims. Trying to track down silver 27.2 thomson inline seatpost and 17T EAI cog.

chainring has arrived thanks to @Robc.cc

tyres and tubes arrived. considering spoke selection between sapim race and laser. any suggestions for ~70kg rider?

would still love to own one of those orlowskis

completing the drivetrain, cranks (s75) and rims (open pro cd) are on their ways to me, also planning another cockpit setup with (already owned) 3ttt pro chrome and deda piega compact.

crankset has arrived, and there's a question - will 111mm ISO campagnolo bb give me proper chainline with it? or can anyone propose some sealed bottom bracket for this cranks? I have also spare 107mm miche ISO BB.

i use 111mm Campagnolo Centaur BB's theyre decent.

will 111mm ISO campagnolo bb give me proper chainline with it?

no, but it's not the end of the world. For what it's worth i've used a 75 BB through all kinds of weather and only had to clean it out once in like 18months or summin

NJS BB arrived, Union Jack seatpost and thomson seatclamp installed, wheels taken from other build, that's why I couldn't be arsed to take proper photos. Rides like a dream - stiff, light, comfortable.

This should meet with it's twin!

much like.

@BigH this one
