n+Univega or 'Sorting out the Stash'

There is an abandoned one in our communal bike shed, I moved it for space and the thing must be around 12kg.

I love this thread.

I have three trips to Sweden planned over the next few months, so you might actually spot the Hulsroy in the wild!

Yea Create's blow, but nothing beats the heft of an Avenue.

At least they are aero to make up for it

Still need to build a new front wheel, but it's rideable. Other little tweaks include de-logoing the stem, buy and mount some tubeless tyres and mount the SS 'hanger'.
Found out that brake discs can be bought too cheap, but they'll do for now...

9.48 kg now.

And it's done. Everything is torqued upand the new wheels are done and sat up tubeless. Bit heavier than I had guessed, but who cares? If the tyres hold pressure overnight, I might sneak out early for a quick test ride before work.
Sorry for the shit pic...

Everything but my shape was spot on...

Snuck into the garage to try an sort out a bracket for the rear light on my @Hulsroy
Didn't have any flat stock and my tube flattening tests were shit. Found an old shelf in wood pile and while I'm no Nik Blackhurst it still turned out quite ok.

+1 for the project binky reference!

Should have used some cardboard-CAD

Maybe spray cans die when they get below freezing? The black Hammerite I’ve used doesn’t want to dry. Seemed a bit runny as well when I sprayed it. Have left it to dry overnight...

Obviously. Everybody should use more Cardboard Aided Design!

Done for now. Dynamo wire will run along the brake hose to be as hidden as possible.

Are you running dynamo wire along hydro cable?

Brake hose = hydro cable, so yes :)

Neat mount. Now drill the frame for internal wiring ;)

Don't listen to this man @JesperXT

Bodging mudguard mounts for the e-stay bike...

Thats brilliant, very clever.

Now that, is a quality bodge

It's been a while. The Hulsroy still haven't been ridden in anger, but I braved the cold today and got it closer to finished.
Bought Radial mudguards a long while ago and lost the mounting hardware somewhere along the way. Scavenged some mounts from some old SKS guards, bent them to fit, drilled the guards and riveted them in place.
Got most of the dynamo wiring done as well. Ran it along the brake hose with self-amalgamating tape.
