n+Univega or 'Sorting out the Stash'

Quality tinkering. And now what?

More tinkering. Maybe even a ride on it??

Is its current state ready for a photo shoot, or does it still need a bit of work? :)

5 minutes from ready ;)

Rowdy!

Does bars need tilting down a tad and levers up? Or is it just the stem that makes it look funky?
Also... Front mudguard bracket should be behind the crown no?

That front mudguard looks even shorter than a bluemels.
I'm thinking you're going to need a really long flap.

But the bike looks awesome!

It's quite short, yeah. The rear one isn't that long either. Will get moved behind the crown when I sort out a longer bracket.

Not sure, but maybe. But you do say that about all my bikes.

Wow this build is really on point

Love the bottle cage positioning

A lot of thought went into that and @Hulsroy got it spot on!

Lol.
Please

Bump

I can recommend rubber sheets found in Biltema's auto parts shelves along with gasket materials for flaps.

Yeah, saw you recommend them in another thread and they are in my shopping basket. @Hulsroy says I can't use homemade flaps though :|

I did go, I just didn't cycle...

what a kill-joy ;)
But I guess none of my bikes are as nice as this, so Biltema stuff doesn't look out of place on them..

Bent spoke or optical illusion? Looks great by the way!

Hmm. Good spot. I'll have to check that.

Don’t worry. It’s only an issue if the bike is ridden.

@Simba came by yesterday with an old 16" Kona Lava Dome that he stored for me for a while. It'll now become my sons next bike. I'm in no hurry as I'm pretty sure it's a bit too big for him still. First problem is that some of the old Konas use a dog collar cable guide that clamp onto the seat tube. My frame was missing one, so while I wait for the one @Hulsroy maybe has at his Danish shop, I made a temporary solution:

The same @Simba sent me a link to the Danish version of Gumtree and after a quick trip to bumfuck nowhere I was the proud owner of yet another £20 Kona. Stuck seatpost, but otherwise in pretty good nick. Fork was fucked, so cut off the steerer for later use and found a Klein version of the P2 fork for 3 beers. As he also had a P2, I grabbed that as well...

I've also picked up a Marin Pine Mountain through @Hulsroy. Some modifications had been done already with some braze ons being removed and some added and a disc tab and matching cut-out had been added as well.

I started out by sourcing another fork and removed a horrible drum brake tab from it. Axle to crown is 5 mm longer than the original, which should be just fine. I'll add some braze ons for a massive Wald basket at a later point.
